The Economic Emergence of Women

"The Economic Emergence of Women" is a significant publication that addresses the historical revolution of gender equality. In this revised edition of a classic feminist work, it is outlined how economic developments have led to the fact that women's labor can no longer be exclusively used for domestic tasks. The author B. Bergmann analyzes the profound changes that have occurred in society and highlights the need for new social arrangements to combat existing workplace discrimination. Additionally, the fair distribution of household chores and childcare between genders is discussed. In light of the changing institution of marriage, the economic basis for raising children is also brought into focus. This academic book offers valuable insights into the economic and social aspects of gender equality and is an essential work for anyone engaged with feminist and economic issues.
