Women and Work - Feminism Labour and Social Reproduction

Summary

Feminism is once again on the political agenda. Across the world women are taking to the streets to protest unfair working conditions, abortion laws, and sexual violence. They are demanding decent wages, better schools and free childcare. But why do some feminists choose to fight for more women CEOs, while others fight for a world without CEOs?

To understand these divergent approaches, Susan Ferguson looks at the ideas that have inspired women to protest, exploring the ways in which feminists have placed work at the centre of their struggle for emancipation. Two distinct trajectories emerge: 'equality feminism' and 'social reproduction feminism'. Ferguson argues that socialists have too often embraced the 'liberal' tendencies of equality feminism, while neglecting the insights of social reproduction feminism.

Engaging with feminist anti-work critiques, Ferguson proposes that women's emancipation depends upon a radical reimagining of all labour and advocates for a renewed social reproduction framework as a powerful basis for an inclusive feminist politics.

    Want to pay off your mortgage and be out of debt? This book has the solution. It's full of valuable ideas and examples that others have used to eliminate their mortgage debt in just a few years. You will learn how to minimize expenses and plan your pay off strategy in an organized and practical manner. What do banks offer as a solution? Most banks only give you one option which is basically to send your payment every month for the next 30 years. Yes, you will have paid off your mortgage by then but there's a better way. A faster way and easier way that requires simply planning for what needs to be done. Do you have a 30-year mortgage? Do you have credit card debt? Do you make insurance and property tax payments? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you can seriously lower your mortgage debt and the time it takes you to pay it off. If you answered "no", there's still other options that are explained in detail. Most books give you general ideas as to what you can do to eliminate your mortgage debt but this book shows you how it's done with real examples and solutions. You will see how payments amortize, how much interest goes towards payments, and how much interest you will pay over the life of the loan when presented with different solutions.

    It's a simple fact that the people who make policy and oversee government, sports, business, and the arts and entertainment are most commonly white men. Another fact: We cannot achieve meaningful progress if we exclude the very people who have the power to make systemic change.This handbook is free of any attempts to shame, blame, or guilt leaders for the choices they made in the past or privileges they were born with. Instead, listeners will learn to view the work they do through a racial equity lens so they can easily and immediately begin making changes.In The Includers, Colette Phillips explores the core qualities that inclusive leaders share: character, cultural intelligence, connections, communications, collaboration, courage, and commitment. With humor and poignancy, and backed by research, Phillips shares stories of real Includers: the CEOs, politicians, and public figures—all white male allies—she's admired, known, and, in some cases, counseled.For leaders who are ready to do their part, this eye-opening guide offers practical, actionable insights from allies and advocates who are willing to listen, learn, and "lead from behind" to create sustainable systemic change.
