Kinnear details how ordinary women - including early pioneers, East European immigrants, Native women, and professional women - lived and what they thought of the world of work, often telling their stories in their own words. She highlights the cultural and economic expectations for women and juxtaposes the activities society deemed suitable for women with what they actually did. Kinnear argues that a host of factors, such as class and ethnicity, differentiated their choices but that these women shared many common experiences. While women's own views furnish the main theme, A Female Economy contributes to a developing debate in feminist economics. By focusing on women's experiences in the sexually segregated economy of a Canadian province at the geographic centre of Canada, Kinnear furnishes a paradigm for women's economic activity in most western industrializing societies at the time.

Until now, there has been little coordinated research on the role of women in the economics of developing countries, or on the impact of the international economy on women in those countries. Here, Susan Joekes not only examines women who are engaged in what is defined as gainful, or wage earning employment, she also considers the role of women in unpaid labor such as household work, farm work on their own land, and other activities that require managing resources. Specially commissioned by the United Nations International Research and Training Institute for the Advancement of Women (INSTRAW), this study examines such topics as trade and finance, technological change, agriculture, industry, services, and emerging trends in the international economy as related to women, and concludes with proposals for innovative development policies.

""A World Without Men" is an analysis of what an all-female economy would look like. For 60 years women have insisted they're "strong and independent." They "can do anything men can do." And in what is likely their boldest claim, they "don't need men." But is it true? For four generations men have been subjected to some pretty damning accusations. They're the oppressors of women. Their misogyny is the sole cause of the much-hated wage gap. They are guilty of the original sins of privilege and institutional sexism. And this says nothing about the rank mockery and, often times, outright hatred men receive in the media, government, and our schools. But perhaps the most damning accusation of them all is that men are no longer needed. That they are now somehow obsolete. That men have no value to society, and therefore their entire existence is ultimately pointless and irrelevant as they serve no purpose. But as "The Sex War" approaches its 60th anniversary, and the intersexual screaming reaches a fevered pitch, did anyone take the time to see if women's original claim was at all in any way true? That women were NOT dependent on men? That women truly and factually did not need them? This book does precisely that. Using data from the US Department of Labor (among many other resources), "A World Without Men" recreates what an all-female economy and society would look like, and sees if women could survive without men. With 97% of plumbers, 98% of electricians, and 96% of mechanics gone, would the world of women, full of HR managers, elementary school teachers, and essential oil saleswomen, be able to live without men? Would the vast and intricate infrastructures society relies on today like our highway system, satellites, sewer system, and electric grid continue operating flawlessly as they did before? And what of innovation? Would women - finally "liberated from the shackles of men" - be able to go and invent cold-fusion, a cure for cancer, or colonize Mars? After 60 years of hearing how women are truly equals...yet are perennial victims... "A World Without Men" is a "put up or shut up" analysis that is long over due about the efficacy of feminism and how serious women are about achieving equality. The real analysis, however, is not so much who's producing what, or what our society would look like with only 3% of the farmers it has today. It's the tremendous economic and social consequences that would result if you were to remove the entire male sex from society. Not so much in a hypothetical situation, akin to a science fiction fantasy where the planet of "Amazonia" is an all-female society. But in a very real scenario where you've actually told generations of men they're not needed, passed laws to discriminate against them, demoralized them through media and government, even going so far as to tell them they're hated. Because whether you realize it or not, society is getting what it asked for. Feminists are getting their dream come true. We are increasingly living in a "World Without Men." And it is a fascinating world indeed."--Amazon.

The Female Economy explores that lost world of women's dominance, showing how independent, often ambitious businesswomen and the sometimes imperious consumers they served gradually vanished from the scene as custom production gave way to a largely unskilled modern garment industry controlled by men. Wendy Gamber helps overturn the portrait of wage-earning women as docile souls who would find fulfillment only in marriage and motherhood.

This book offers an analysis of the key issues faced by women in the labor market in the 21st century. It identifies the factors that inhibit women's participation in the labor market, studies occupational segregation by gender and analyzes labor transitions, questioning whether the experience for men and women differs. It also explores the effect of entrepreneurship support programs on women's economic and social positions, as well as the public policy implications of women's entry into the labor market. The book investigates working women in Mexico and also offers comparisons with countries such as Spain and developing countries within Eastern Europe. It explores a variety of topics, from a gender perspective, such as labor participation, the feminization of poverty, migration, wage gaps, changes in employment, informal work programs and public policy. Finally, the book offers a topical and timely analysis of the COVID-19 pandemic, tracking the gender inequalities among men and women in labor markets. The main market for the book is the global community of academics, researchers and graduate students in the fields of economics and, specifically, in the study of the labor market from a gender perspective. It will also be beneficial to government institutions responsible for the creation of public programs and policies, as well as non-governmental and non-profit organizations.
