- catalog abstract ""Why do family and work increasingly conflict? Why do men as well as women feel under enormous strain, at home and at work? Why are nearly one-fourth of American children, and nearly forty percent of divorced mothers, poor?" "Until now, these phenomena have been looked at in isolation. Williams treats them as integrally linked and shows how they are all consequences not of people's choices, intentional discrimination, or biological destiny, but of our system for organizing work." "Unbending Gender shows that the work/family conflict is gender discrimination, and that the current way of organizing work is terrible for men, still worse for women, and worst of all for children. She proposes a set of practical policies and legal initiatives to reorganize the two realms of work so men and women can lead healthier and more productive work and family lives."--Jacket.".
