Equal at work?: Women in men's jobs

Coote, Anna

Collins

This book is a combination of self-help, how-to, and why do we have to? Written in 1974, this is a convincing work that has a list of rules, regulations and laws which tradition has made to favor the male, and how to make that work for you. It is written in a realistic and sensible way that is easy to understand.

"Sweet Freedom" tells the story of the women's movement as one of the most far-reaching political developments of our time. Examining both the successes and failures of the movement, Anna Coote and Beatrix Campbell chart the revolution that has penetrated almost every aspect of our economy and culture, our language and our consciousness. This new edition, fully revised and updated, takes into account the developments of the 1980s: Greenham Common and the peace movement; the action of the miners' wives in the 1984-85 miners' strike; the growth of the black women's movement; the campaign against sexual harassment; the new law for equal pay for work of equal value; women's campaigns in the Labour Party; and the pioneering work of women's committees in metropolitan and local authorities. This work is aimed at general readers, students of Women's Studies, Sociology and modern British society.

The Case for a Four Day Week

Not so long ago, people thought that a ten-hour, six-day week was normal; now, it's the eight-hour, five-day week.&nbsp;Will that soon be history too? In this book, three leading experts argue why it should be. They map out a pragmatic pathway to a shorter working week that safeguards earnings for the lower-paid and keeps the economy flourishing. They argue that this radical vision will give workers time to be better parents and carers, allow men and women to share paid and unpaid work more equally, and help to save jobs - and create new ones - in the post-pandemic era. Not only that, but it will combat stress and illness caused by overwork and help to protect the environment. This is essential reading for anyone who has ever felt they could live and work a lot better if all weekends were three days long.

The Case for Universal Basic Services

Percy, Andrew

The idea that healthcare and education should be provided as universal public services to all who need them is widely accepted. But why leave it there? Why not expand it to more of life's essentials?&nbsp; In their bold new book, Anna Coote and Andrew Percy argue that this transformational new policy - Universal Basic Services - is exactly what we need to save our societies and our planet. The old argument that free markets and individual choice are the best way to solve pressing problems of poverty, inequality and environmental degradation has led us to catastrophe, and must be abandoned. The authors show that expanding the principle of collective universal service provision to everyday essentials like transport, childcare and housing is not only the best way of tackling many of the biggest problems facing the contemporary world: it's also efficient, practical and affordable. Anyone who cares about fighting for a fairer, greener and more democratic world should read this book.
