The study shows that men''s and women?s visions and practices of family life are rooted in ideals of appropriate intimate relations and negotiated with real and imagined reactions from peers, wider family, and colleagues in a highly gendered UK. In so doing, this book highlights the intersections of intimacy and equality, contributing to debates around the stalled gender revolution and using UK parental leave policies to drive effective change in gender relations and family life.","brand":"UCL Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50578464080215,"sku":"9781800087415","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781800087415.jpg?v=1746099404","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/caring-is-sharing-9781800087415","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
