This book is a volume in the "Let's Discuss" series, which deals with a wide range of social questions in a way which is designed to promote discussion among children. Texts are complemented by a number of fictional, personal case studies which have been taken out of copyright, so that they can be copied and distributed in the classroom. Each chapter concludes with a series of questions to help the reader develop their own opinions on the subjects discussed. The social questions raised in this volume cover different aspects of women's history and lives, initially looking at their fight to gain the vote and their role during the two World Wars. It then considers the modern women's liberation movement and its effect before going on to examine work, education, health, the images of women presented in the media and violence against women. The final chapter sums up the changes that have taken place in recent years and the issues which are still being debated. The case studies tell the stories of four women confronting problems raised in the text. The book is intended to provide background reading for GCSE studies and Standard Grade in Scotland.

(With the collapse of state socialism, women in Eastern an...)
With the collapse of state socialism, women in Eastern and Central Europe are now faced with more than the double burden of paid and domestic labor. Soaring unemployment is driving women out of the workplace, and nationalist ideologues are urging them to reassume their “primary responsibility”—to produce babies for the nation. Lack of childcare and attacks upon abortion rights are narrowing choices. Can these issues provide the catalyst for transforming the embryonic women’s groups into something like a mass women’s movement? Or will the current allergy to feminism prevail? Many women now claim to have suffered from “too much emancipation” under socialism, and are seeking what they see as new forms of freedom in femininity and maternity. Barbara Einhorn’s timely account of women’s position before and after the demise of state socialism in Eastern Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia and Hungary shows how the issues of gender are today at the heart of potentially explosive processes of social and political transformation. Her book provides incisive sociological, economic and political analysis, along with perceptive commentary on the ways in which the changes in women’s daily lives are being represented in literature and in the media.

Women and Market Societies explores the problems and possibilities for women which arise from the transition to a market economy in East Asia, the dismantling of state socialism in Eastern Europe and the restructuring of the economies and welfare states of the older capitalist market societies in Western Europe. The paradoxical effects of modernising housework, the power and contestibility of global media representations of femininity, the experience of building a women's politics around consumption are all themes explored in this book which aims to contribute to an East-West dialogue among women.
