Feminization of the Labour Force by Jane Jenson

This book is an international analysis of the lives of women in paid work. The authors' starting point is the post-war increase in the numbers of women in the paid labour force. They examine how this process took place in Britain, France, the Federal Republic of Germany, Sweden, Italy, Canada and the United States, and the reactions it provoked from the state, trade unions and employers. Throughout the book, the writers emphasize women's ability to create and maintain their paid jobs despite many obstacles, and the new possibilities for role-changing which a wide variety of women have brought to their work and their lives in general. This book should be of interest to students and researchers in political science, sociology, womens' studies, economics and political economy.
