Toutes les femmes sont citoyennes, quelques femmes sont artistes. La citoyenne et l'artiste sont-elles les semblables des hommes ? Oui. Tout autant concernées par la politique et par l'art ? Oui. Au commencement de l'ère démocratique, initiée par la Révolution française, ces affirmations furent pourtant sources de débats et de polémiques : aux femmes la famille plutôt que la cité, la muse plutôt que le génie, arguaient bien des hommes qui n'étaient pas tous réactionnaires. Deux cents ans après, nous en discutons encore. L'ouvrage revient sur les conséquences de ce moment fondateur. Il rend compte du travail sans fi n de la démonstration de l'égalité, dans une « démocratie exclusive » où chacun – donc chacune – peut théoriquement se voir individu, sujet, citoyen, créateur, un, une parmi tous et toutes. De Poulain de la Barre, philosophe du XVIIe siècle, à Jacques Rancière, penseur contemporain, avec Virginia Woolf comme avec Simone de Beauvoir, les textes réunis ici montrent à quel point ces questions demeurent essentielles pour la modernité : celle de la jouissance revendiquée, celle de la stratégie subversive, celle de la mesure de l'émancipation des femmes, celle du féminisme comme dérèglement de la tradition occidentale.

"At a time when some corporate women leaders are advocating for their aspiring sisters to 'lean in' for a bigger piece of the existing pie, this book puts the spotlight on the deep structures of organizational culture that hold gender inequality in place. Gender at Work: Theory and Practice for 21st Century Organizations makes a compelling case that transforming the unspoken, informal institutional norms that perpetuate gender inequality in organizations is key to achieving gender equitable outcomes for all. The book is based on the authors' interviews with 30 leaders who broke new ground on gender equality in organizations, international case studies crafted from consultations and organizational evaluations, and lessons from nearly fifteen years of experience of Gender at Work, a learning collaborative of 30 gender equality experts. From the Dalit women's groups in India who fought structural discrimination in the largest 'right to work' program in the world, to the intrepid activists who challenged the powerful members of the UN Security Council to define mass rape as a tactic of war, the trajectories and analysis in this book will inspire readers to understand and chip away at the deep structures of gender discrimination in organizational policies, practices and outcomes. Designed for practitioners, policy makers, donors, students and researchers looking at gender, development and organizational change, this book offers readers a widely tested tool of analysis -- the Gender at Work Analytical Framework -- to assess the often invisible structures of gender bias in organizations and to map desired strategies and change processes."--Publisher's description.

The right to social security, found in international law and in the constitutions of many nations, contributes to the alleviation of poverty globally. Social security and its articulation as a human right have received increased attention in recent years both in response to austerity cuts to welfare in developed countries and as a means of lifting millions out of poverty in developing countries. Women, disproportionately affected by poverty in all parts of the world, stand to gain from a right to social security that takes cognisance of gender discrimination and disadvantage.This book interprets and redefines the right to social security from a gender perspective. Drawing on feminist theory, the book formulates a conceptual approach and a set of principles for a substantively equal, gendered right to social security. In so doing, it challenges the relationship between the right to social security and traditional conceptions of work that exclude women’s labour including their caring roles. It argues that the right must have application at the transnational level if it is to address the changing nature of women’s work due to globalisation.The book applies the framework and principles it develops to a study of international law focusing on the work of key United Nations human rights bodies. It also demonstrates the value of this framework in its analysis of three countries’ social security programmes - South Africa, Australia and India. In combining feminist thought on the nature of work and care with equality theories in developing the right to social security from a gender perspective this book expands the capacity of the right to advance gender equality and address gendered poverty.
