La progression et la retention des femmes dans les secteurs traditionnellement masculins demeurent inegales. Ce livre propose les elements favorables à une meilleure retention dans differentes professions.-- Malgre des avancees politiques et juridiques en faveur de l'egalite au Quebec, la progression et la retention des femmes dans les secteurs traditionnellement masculins demeurent inegales. Comment expliquer les ecarts de progression de carriere des femmes dans ces milieux? Dans les trajectoires de carriere, quels sont les enjeux qui peuvent expliquer la progression ou non des femmes? Quelles sont les pratiques organisationnelles porteuses de changement? Ce livre presente les resultats d'une recherche multidisciplinaire realisee sur le terrain aupres d'organisations de divers secteurs. Depassant l'etude des trajectoires individuelles, cette recherche permet de decouvrir les dimensions contextuelles et culturelles des organisations qui influencent les parcours de carriere des femmes et la retention en emploi. Loin de presenter une recette miracle ou un modele unique pour corriger les situations inegalitaires au travail, la demarche proposee repose sur un processus dynamique et transformatif visant à repertorier au sein des organisations et de leur ecosysteme les elements favorables à une meilleure inclusion des femmes dans differentes professions. .

The trend toward gender equalization in domestic and paid labor allocations has stalled, and a growing number of scholars argue that, absent political intervention, further eroding of the gendered division of labor will not be forthcoming anytime soon. Certain political interventions could jumpstart the stalled gender revolution, but beyond their prospects for effectiveness, such interventions stand in need of another kind of justification. In a diverse, liberal state, reasonable citizens will disagree about what makes for a good life and a good society. Because a fundamental commitment of liberalism is to limit political intrusion into the lives of citizens and allow considerable space for those citizens to act on their own conceptions of the good, questions of legitimacy arise. Legitimacy concerns the constraints we must abide by as we seek collective political solutions to our shared social problems, given that we will disagree, reasonably, both about what constitutes a problem and about what costs we should be willing to incur to fix it. The interventions in question would subsidize gender-egalitarian lifestyles at a cost to those who prefer to maintain a traditional gendered division of labor. In a pluralistic, liberal society where many citizens reasonably resist the feminist agenda, can scarce public resources be used to finance political interventions to subsidize gender egalitarianism? This book argues that they can, and moreover, that they can even by the lights of political liberalism, a particularly demanding theory of liberal legitimacy.

Between 1920 and 1960 wage-earning women in factories and offices experienced dramatic shifts in their employment conditions, the result of both the Depression and the expansion of work opportunities during the Second World War. Earning Respect examines the lives of white and blue-collar women workers in Peterborough during this period and notes the emerging changes in their work lives, as working daughters gradually became working mothers.Joan Sangster focuses in particular on four large workplaces, examining the gendered division of labour, women's work culture, and the forces that encouraged women's accommodation and resistance on the job. She also connects women's wage work to their social and familial lives and to the larger community context, exploring wage-earning women's 'identities,' their attempts to cope with economic and family crises, the gendered definitions of working-class respectability, and the nature of paternalism in a small Ontario manufacturing city.Sangster draws upon oral histories as well as archival research as she traces the construction of class and gender relations in 'small town' industrialized Ontario in the mid-twentieth century. She uses this local study to explore key themes and theoretical debate in contemporary women's and working-class history.Winner of the 1995-1996 Harold Adams Innis Prize award by the Humanities and Social Sciences Federation of Canada.
