Drawing on their teaching and research experience, the authors of this volume have produced a detailed account of why the law, and in particular the anti-discrimination laws, have failed women.
Scarcely a week goes by without a news item highlighting the problems facing working women, from sexual harassment to lack of childcare facilities. "Working Women and the Law" investigates why the law, and in particular the anti-discrimination law, has failed women in the workplace. The authors, drawing on their considerable teaching and research experience, explore the practical and theoretical barriers that limit the law's ability to achieve change. As well as looking at specific legislative measures, they consider how the law works in practice, with chapters on wages, social security and taxation, and access to work. In addition to a complete chapter which examines women's patterns of employment, other chapters draw on relevant research studies to identify practices which can adversely affect women's working lives.
