Несмотря на века борьбы, женщины по-прежнему зарабатывают меньше мужчин и обладают меньшей властью. Равенство остается целью, которая еще не достигнута. В этой проницательной книге Мэри Эванс утверждает, что оптимистичные нарративы прогресса и эмансипации лишь затуманивают долгосрочное структурное неравенство между женщинами и мужчинами, неравенство, коренящееся не только в гендерных различиях, но и в общем социальном неравенстве. Расширяя взгляд на устойчивость гендерного неравенства, Эванс показывает, как в современных дебатах о социальном неравенстве гендерный аспект зачастую игнорируется, неявно отодвигая на второй план критически важные аспекты отношений между женщинами и мужчинами. Эта захватывающая книга пытается связать некоторые точки в нашем понимании как социального, так и гендерного неравенства, предлагая новый взгляд на проблему, которая по-прежнему требует пристального внимания общества.
Despite centuries spent campaigning for equality, women continue to earn less money and hold less power than their male counterparts. Although equality has remained a lofty goal unreached, in this book, Mary Evans provides a compelling explanation for why progress toward that goal has been elusive. She argues that the optimistic narrative of progress inherent in mainstream discourse has obscured long-standing structural inequality between men and women – inequality that cuts across more than just gender, but also social inequality as a whole. Evans expands the lens on the persistently unequal treatment of women by showing how gender inequalities, as well as broader social inequalities, tend to be alluded to or forced to the side in today's discussion. Evans' thoughtful read creatively joins these disparate dots and, by bringing them together, offers a unique take on one of our persistent issues holistically.

Описание книги от Mary Evans
Despite centuries of campaigning, women still earn less and have less power than men. Equality remains a goal not yet reached. In this incisive account of why this is the case, Mary Evans argues that optimistic narratives of progress and emancipation have served to obscure long-term structural inequalities between women and men, structural inequalities which are not only about gender but also about general social inequality. In widening the lenses on the persistence of gender inequality, Evans shows how in contemporary debates about social inequality gender is often ignored, implicitly side-lining critical aspects of relations between women and men. This engaging short book attempts to join up some of the dots in the ways that we think about both social and gender inequality, and offers a new perspective on a problem that still demands society’s full attention.
