Book Description:
|
At the heart of this book is the idea that women’s bodies are central to gendered power relations, and remain a negotiated site of power between men and women. It goes on to consider women’s bodies in the context of different forms of paid work, discussing how far women remain at an economic disadvantage in comparison with male workers.
