This socially and ethnically diverse movement for change emerged first from union halls and factory floors and spread to the "pink collar" domain of telephone operators, secretaries, and airline hostesses. From the 1930s to the 1980s, these women pursued answers to problems that are increasingly pressing today: how to balance work and family and how to address the growing economic inequalities that confront us. The other women's movement traces their impact from the 1940s into the feminist movement of the present. The labor reformers whose stories are told in this book wanted equality and "special benefits," and they did not see the two as incompatible. They argued that gender differences must be accommodated and that "equality" could not always be achieved by applying an identical standard of treatment to men and women. The reform agenda they championed--an end to unfair sex discrimination, just compensation for their waged labor, and the right to care for their families and communities--launched a revolution in employment practices that carries on today. 650 0 $a Women $x Employment $z United States. 650 0 $a Women's rights $z United States. 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/description/prin051/2003040466.html 856 41 $3 Table of contents $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/prin051/2003040466.html 856 42 $3 Book review (H-Net) $u http://www.h-net.org/review/hrev-a0e4h5-aa 941 $a 16 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214051219.0 952 $l GLAX641 $d 20231201010355.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019011215.0 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718081508.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230302014713.0 952 $l ULAX314 $d 20190926083140.0 952 $l HWAX074 $d 20140415014650.0 952 $l UWAX953 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l SOAX911 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l OYAX081 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l OTAX626 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l OSAX771 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l OMAX631 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l O3AX572 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l N5UX522 $d 20090701080000.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8A6FEB382B0411DEA75DDE07A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b IOWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
