Reshaping the Work-Family Debate
The United States has the most family-hostile public policy in the developed world. Despite what is often reported, new mothers don't Òopt outÓ of work. They are pushed out by discriminating and inflexible workplaces. Today's workplaces continue to idealize the worker who has someone other than parents caring for their children.

Topics covered include a detailed exploration of Marxism, a review of working class literature, post-marxist theories of class and the future of the field.
Our Working Lives
In this new collection about contemporary people facing the post-industrial age and the work of their lives we have stories about carpenters, painters, waitresses, nurses, teachers, plumbers, social workers, ushers, factory and cannery workers, car salesmen, hardware sellers, chicken butchers, junk dealers, miners, lifeguards, out-of-workers. It makes us realize how some truths must be spoken as stories. This is a strong collection appropriate for a general audience and for college readers.
