In the late 1980s, despite the fact that the vast majority of women
now had a dual role - in paid work and in the domestic realm - the
world of work, the welfare state, and the domestic sphere were all
still organized as though women's place were primarily in the home.
Though this contradiction most directly affected women, it had
implications for the lives of both sexes, and in a much wider
social context. Women's changing role had paralleled a major
restructuring of the economy but the importance of these changes
was barely reflected in contemporary political discussions, or in
political science or social policy literature. In this title,
originally published in 1987, articles from women in Italy, France,
Denmark, Norway, the US and Britain bring the issues sharply into
focus. Applying fresh perspectives, they widen and enrich the
debate. This book marks a powerful contribution to a new and more
realistic assessment of women's dual role in the state and the
economy which should be read by all those concerned with the
development of women's issues and with women's studies.
