Care, education, social work, services: these are the professions that sustain our society-and at the same time, they are the worst paid, most stressful, and least recognized. They reveal a central paradox of modern equality: women are visible, but without power; indispensable, but undervalued. This book shows why women in so-called "women's professions" are still disadvantaged today - socially, economically, legally, and culturally.

Care, education, social work, services: these are the professions that sustain our society-and at the same time, they are the worst paid, most stressful, and least recognized. They reveal a central paradox of modern equality: women are visible, but without power; indispensable, but undervalued. This book shows why women in so-called "women's professions" are still disadvantaged today - socially, economically, legally, and culturally. It reveals that the causes lie not in individual decisions, but in deeply rooted structures that morally elevate care work but devalue it economically. It describes how patriarchal ways of thinking continue to operate in modern institutions, why laws alone do not create equality, and why real change is only possible if politics, business, and society finally redefine the value of care work. "Benachteiligt im eigenen Beruf" (Disadvantaged in one's own profession) is a passionate and at the same time factually sound plea for a fairer evaluation of work. The book impressively demonstrates that equality does not begin when women rise to top positions, but when their everyday, socially indispensable work receives the same respect and recognition as any other. Because those who enhance the status of women's professions not only change the world of work-they change the very understanding of justice itself. Bremen University Press has published over 5,000 specialist books in various languages since 2005.
