Document Summary
60s and 70s rise of women"s movements. 80s and 90s beginning and the end of post-modernism establishing a welfare state; sense of moving forward or progress. We don"t have a sense of prosperity; 80s and 90s started that and getting by in hard times is a study of how families are coping within the economy and in terms of their own families. Women"s work in the house was a primary role in the book; how families managed and coped with jobbing security; driving question: how are families surviving the changes. Inequalities are deepening and as a whole the majority of the people are not getting better and we are experiencing gender, class and racial equality. Back in the 40s, 50s and 60s everything is made out of steel; people could better negotiate. Reinforce the discourse of the male breadwinner; trade unions established a male wage for male breadwinners.
