Review Quotes:
"Readers benefit from the rich, locally grounded studies, each of which contributes to the historical and critical analysis of the individual nation state, but even more significantly, from the lessons we might carry from place to place in understanding the breadth of policy options and the strategies employed by women to alter workplace practices. . . . the articles in this volume are clearly written and well researched.
