This wide-ranging and accessible book assesses policy alternatives in the light of feminist theory and factual evidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The book introduces mainstream ideas on the nature and political significance of time and re-frames them from a feminist perspective to provide a critical overview of policies in Western welfare states. Themes covered include gender differences in time use and the impact of 'time poverty' on women's citizenship; the need to value time spent giving and receiving care; the social meanings of time and whether we can talk about 'women's time' and 'men's time'; and the role of the past in framing policy options today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The book is essential reading for all those interested in gender inequality, time-use or work\/rest-of-life balance.
