Ebook: Women's Employment and the Capitalist Family : Towards a Political Economy of Gender and Labour Markets

This original study draws upon an interdisciplinary approach which fully incorporates both empirical and historical material. Writing from a Marxist-feminist perspective, Ben Fine provides a critical assessment of the literature which examines the changing labor market participation of women. He explores such issues as the domestic labor debate, the role of patriarchy theory, gender and labor market theory, the capitalist family, and the position of working women in the economy.
