United Kingdom: Polity Press , 1995. "Green, a lecturer in women's studies at the University of London, mounts a defense of feminist humanism. She examines the work of early theorists, male and female, including Thomas Hobbes, Jean- Jacques Rousseau, Christine de Pisan and Mary Wollstonecraft. From this historical perspective, Green argues that although female humanists wrote within a patriarchal framework, their ideas remain authentic and provide contemporary feminists with a basis on which to develop a critical voice. She rejects the claims of radical feminists who, drawing on Simone de Beauvoir's concept of "the other," call for a women's logic. According to the author, it is possible to utilize rational thought in harmony with, instead of in opposition to, emotion. This harmony, Green postulates, connects humanism to feminism. She also rejects current theories of women's sexuality that equate heterosexual sex with women's oppression." CONDITION 211 pages,… Leer más

U S A: Temple University Press , 1993. "Providing an original look at service occupations, Glazer offers an innovative interpretation of how managers reduce labor costs by shifting labor for paid women workers to women as family members. She critically examines the past and present practices of retailing and health service occupations as a way to better understand the de-skilling, speed-ups, and job consolidation of nurses, salesclerks, and cashiers. Glazer calls the shifting of tasks from paid to unpaid labor the "work transfer," one of the many mechanisms that managers used to change the labor process in service jobs. She maintains that these shifts in labor costs increase profit margins in a capitalistic economy that demands such increases. Drawing on social history, economics, interviews with health service workers, union newsletter accounts, and advertisements in mass market magazines and retail trade journals, this book affords new insights into how the hidden work of women is… Leer más
