Social Reproduction cover

Using a feminist political economy approach, this work documents the impact of socio-economic policies on states, markets, households, and communities. It challenges feminist scholars to re-engage with materialism and political economy to engage with feminism.How the unaccounted costs of neo-liberal policies fall on women

"This well-researched book makes visible the unaccounted costs of neo-liberal economic and social policies and shows how they fall particularly heavily on poor women in Canada, both citizens and migrants." Diane Elson, University of Essex "The focus on social reproduction within the overall framework of feminist political economy makes for a powerful and relevant analysis of the fate that has befallen Canadian society as a result of both federal and provincial shifts in social and health provisions." Marilyn Porter, Memorial University of Newfoundland
