Sexual Politics and Greedy Institutions

Suzanne Franzway

4.9/5 (22743 ratings)

Description:There is a continuing need to humanise our workplaces. Too many of the Institutions that shape our society demand far too much time and commitment, denying our responsibilities to partners, children, friends and relatives and ourselves.In this book, Suzanne Franzway delves deeply into how we reconcile these contradictory demands from the public and private spheres of our lives. She highlights the paradox that some of the most ‘greedy institutions’ are the trade unions who fought for the eight hour day in an effort to humanise working life. These unions, along with other progressive agents of social improvement, demand a level of commitment and endurance that contradicts the better society they fight for. While unions are committed to sexual equality and feminism, their actual practice makes it difficult for women to contribute. In “Sexual Politics and Greedy Institutions”, female activists describe and reflect on women’s everyday experiences of union participation, strategic dilemmas, political doubts and pleasures and how these measure against the demands of family commitments and self-care.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
