Unbending Gender

I came across a very interesting book called Unbending Gender: why family and work conflict and what to do about it by Joan Williams. This book adresses the issue of how gender effects men, women, and children. Although this book discusses many different topics, it focuses mainly on feminism. It gets described that the workplace revolves around men and women get discrominated against. This book challenges assumptions on gender roles. It shows how workplaces are designed around men and the impact it has on the family system. She wants women and bed to live a healthier, more productive work life and therefore proposes a set of policies.
