Description

The tragedy is that, after hard-won successes, the revolution has stalled and equality for women is still a distant dream. Today, men are paid more and occupy nearly 80% of the most powerful jobs across society. The Stalled Revolution poses a vital question about the future: Are women ready to draw inspiration from past successes and take a third leap forward towards equality?
The book's three-part approach traces clear pathways through historical successes and disappointments, teaching a new generation of campaigners how to confront the many challenges that face women in the modern world. The Stalled Revolution showcases how the wisdom from our collective struggles can help form the bedrock of a new and successful liberation campaign today.

Tutchell, who specializes in gender issues and advises public authorities in the UK, and Edmonds, a trade unionist and specialist in work organization in the UK, explore the need for a new women's liberation campaign. They describe the Votes for Women campaign and the Women's Liberation Movement in the UK, the disappointments in progress in the decades that followed, lessons that can be learned from them, the need to mobilize women, how a new liberation campaign might be developed, sexism in the 21st century, how women react to sexism and inequality, the motivation and methods for building a new movement, and the role of the arts. -- Annotation (c)2018 * (protoview.com) *More details

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
