Women and Work: Twenty-five Years of Gender Equality in Wales (ISBN 0-7083-1495-3 )
Teresa Rees
pp xii115 1999 paperback
Are gender stereotypes such as the 'Welsh mam' still germane in Wales? Does the under-achievement of boys in school mean that girls are now more likely to go on to higher education and top jobs? Do employers in Wales still fire women who become pregnant? Is it true that women will constitute the majority of the work-force at the turn of the century? How wide is the gender gap on pay? To what extent are differences between groups of women now more significant than those between women and men? In addressing these and other questions Teresa Rees assesses the impact of the equality legislation of the mid-1970s on the position of women in education, training and paid work in Wales during the last quarter of the twentieth century.
