Product Description

The Second Edition of this best selling book provides a comprehensive examination of the role that gender plays in work environments. This book differs from others by comparing women's and men's work status, addressing contemporary issues within a historical perspective, incorporating comparative material from other countries, recognizing differences in the experiences of women and men from different racial and ethnic backgrounds. Relying on both qualitative and quantitative data, the authors seek to link social scientific ideas about workers' lives, sex inequality, and gender to the real-world workplace. This new edition contains updated statistics, timely cartoons, and presents new scholarship in the field. It also provides a renewed focus on reasons for variability in inequality across workplaces. In sum, the second edition of Women and Men at Work presents a contemporary perspective to the field, with relevant comparative and historical insights that will draw readers in and connect them to the wider concern of making sense of our dramatically changing world.

5 out of 5 stars A More than Suitable Introduction to Gender Inequality   April 11, 2008
While I wouldn't go as far as to say that this is an authoritative text on gender inequality, this text does an excellent job of outlining not only what work and gender are in a Sociological context, but also how gender has been perceived in society. These perceptions, according to the text, affect how women are raised, paid, and in general, what is expected of women. To a lesser extent, there is also an emphasis on trends regarding women in the workplace, both good and bad.

This text has done a good job of remaining neutral of perspectives such as feminism and the critical-conflict paradigm; the only concern is information in this text, leaving the reader to draw their own conclusions or to do further research about how to solve these issues.

If you are looking for solutions to gender inequality in the workplace, I would instead encourage one to do further reading on applying non-discrimination policies and pro-diversity initiatives (which not only focus on gender inequality, but race inequality as well).
