A useful volume, giving pause for thought, in a hectic age.\"\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGabriele Griffin, Centre for Gender Research, Uppsala University\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface viii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1 What is Gender Inequality? 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMaking Inequality 5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat Has Changed? 10\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChanging Conditions 12\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e2 Worlds of Inequality 23\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExploiting the Feminine 25\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eProblems at Work 30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eProblems of Agency 35\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLocations of Inequality 38\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 Problems of Subjectivity 47\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eImagining the Female Body 48\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOther Bodies 53\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHow the Body Matters 58\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eQuestions of Order 61\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e4 Enter Feminism 76\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConditions for Feminism 76\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA Secondary Sex 82\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChanging Times 87\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUnchanging Times 97\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e5 Making Gender Equality 120\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Rights of Women 122\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Limits of Liberalism 130\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes 140\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBibliography 152\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 166\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Wiley and Sons Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49404431008087,"sku":"9780745689913","price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780745689913.jpg?v=1730486440","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/persistence-of-gender-inequality-9780745689913","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
