This book focuses on how access-based feminism, a term developed by the editors, has both failed and succeeded in achieving equity and justice for women and looks at how transnational feminism has addressed these concerns using a global, fundamentally transformative approach. The contributors consider a wide range of topics, from an examination of the male/female wage gap that starts when girls are teenagers, to policewomen in Persian Gulf countries, to Latinas' politics, to Aboriginal health care workers, to secretarial work, and to feminist activism in Cuban hip hop. 650 0 $a Women $x Employment. 650 0 $a Women $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Feminism. 650 0 $a Women $x Economic aspects. $x Economic aspects. 650 0 $a Women $x Social aspects. $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Women $x Political aspects. $x Political aspects. 650 0 $a Sex role in the work environment. 700 1 $a Morrow, Colette. 700 1 $a Fredrick, Terri Ann. 730 0 $a Feminist formations. 830 0 $a Feminist formations reader. 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20171107021223.0 952 $l PRAX771 $d 20130302010705.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F00081A2830611E2B2D6407EDAD10320 994 $a Z0 $b IODInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
