Description
How the unaccounted costs of neo-liberal policies fall on women
Reviews / Votes
"This well-researched book makes visible the unaccounted costs of neo-liberal economic and social policies and shows how they fall particularly heavily on poor women in Canada, both citizens and migrants." Diane Elson, University of Essex "The focus on social reproduction within the overall framework of feminist political economy makes for a powerful and relevant analysis of the fate that has befallen Canadian society as a result of both federal and provincial shifts in social and health provisions." Marilyn Porter, Memorial University of NewfoundlandMore details
