Valenze sets aside this approach in order to examine the underlying assumptions about gender and work that informed the transformation of English society, and in turn, our ideas about economic progress. How did England change from an agriculturally based... Why study women and the industrial revolution?

In Pursuit of Equity: Women, Men, and the Quest for Economic Citizenship in 20th-Century America
ISBN: 9780195158021 / Angielski / Miękka / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) In this volume, Alice Kessler-Harris explores the transformation of some of the United States' most significant social policies. Tracing changing ideals of fairness from the 1920s to the 1970s, she shows how a deeply embedded set of beliefs, or "gendered imagination" shaped seemingly neutral social legislation to limit the freedom and equality of women. Law and custom generally sought to protect women from exploitation, and sometimes from employment itself; but at the same time, they assigned the most important benefits to wage work. Most policy makers (even female ones) assumed from the...

ISBN: 9780195189964 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This book challenges the conventional wisdom that greater schooling and skill improvement leads to higher wages, that income inequality falls with wider access to schooling, and that the Information Technology revolution will re-ignite worker pay.

Results also indicate that computer investment is negatively related to earnings gains and positively...

Masculinity and the British Organization Man Since 1945
ISBN: 9780198256939 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The post-war period is often regarded as a time when Britain underwent its managerial revolution, the family firm and the "gentleman amateur" giving way to the large bureaucracy and the trained management expert. Yet the conception of modern management as an objective process could hardly be further from the truth. Drawing on detailed life-history interviews with the post-war generation of "organization men," this study argues that despite the rise of professional management, relations between managers continue to function in highly subjective ways. An "emotional economy" flourishes among men...
