Woman's Worth (eBook, ePUB)

Sexual Economics and the World of Women

Beschreibung

Originally published in 1981, Woman's Worth takes up the challenge to the male preserve of economics - which was raised nearly a century ago by Charlotte Perkins Gilman in her classic work Women and Economics. Patriarchal economic systems - socialist as well as capitalist - are founded upon women's unpaid labour.

Rezensionen

Reviews for original 1981 edition:

'The term "economics" will never ring the same again after reading Leghorn and Parker's book. The truths about women and labor have been buried at least as deep as the truths of our sexuality. The meaning of "women's work" becomes beautifully and staggeringly concrete in this multi-racial, multi-ethnic view, which reveals uncompromisingly who are the true proletariat of the world.' - Adrienne Rich

'We have been getting used to the notion that women hold up half the sky. Apparently with half a hand. With the other hand and a half they hold up man and all his creations. This isn't the Economics you were taught? Read this book and reteach yourself.' - Alice Walker
