Feminism's diverse battlefronts in labor and life.

If you've ever felt caught between wanting career success and yearning for a fairer, more inclusive world, "Women and Work" could resonate with you. Susan Ferguson deftly navigates the complex terrains of feminism, challenging us to rethink our approach to labor and equality. It's not just an exploration; it's a call to envision a different future where the value of all work is recognized, and the fight for women's rights goes beyond glass ceilings to address the foundations of societal structures.

Description

Feminism is once again on the political agenda. Across the world, women are taking to the streets to protest unfair working conditions, abortion laws, and sexual violence. They are demanding decent wages, better schools, and free childcare. To understand these divergent approaches, Susan Ferguson looks at the ideas that have inspired women to protest, exploring the ways in which feminists have placed work at the centre of their struggle for emancipation. Two distinct trajectories emerge: 'equality feminism' and 'social reproduction feminism'. Ferguson argues that socialists have too often embraced the 'liberal' tendencies of equality feminism, while neglecting the insights of social reproduction feminism. Engaging with feminist anti-work critiques, Ferguson proposes that women's emancipation depends upon a radical reimagining of all labour and advocates for a renewed social reproduction framework as a powerful basis for an inclusive feminist politics.
