Recenzje

'I enjoyed and admired the ambitious approach taken by Susan Bisom-Rapp and Malcolm Sargeant in their book, Lifetime Disadvantage, Discrimination and the Gendered Workforce. Their model of lifetime disadvantage was explained clearly and exhaustively researched. And I agree with their thesis, that only a holistic, comprehensive approach (rather than disjointed incrementalism), can get us closer to workplaces that are more accommodating for all workers and to a society that ends or at least ameliorates the economic insecurity for women as they age. … [I] believe it contributes to a very important discussion we need to have about how we could reimagine the workplace and society's social structures to end the oppression and contribute to the long-term economic security of all workers.'
