This volume presents debates on class within an international context. Its particular focus is on women's theorized experience of social class from a variety of feminist perspectives, contextualized in relation to the countries and regions in which they live. Using personal experience as a basis, contributors cover Australia, Bangladesh, Botswana, Britain, Canada, Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic, India, Israel, Korea, New Zealand, Poland, and the USA - iluminating the differences and similarities between regions.; Challenging the view that "class is dead" as well as the idea that it is a British phenomenon, the book argues that class needs to be regarded as a key concept in any attempt to understand women's lives. It also reflects on personal and political experiences of class around the world in order to understand the mechanisms through which class discrimination operates and is mediated by gender, sexuality, ethnicity and racism.
Pat Mahony is Professor of Education at Roehampton Institute London. She has worked for many years in the areas of “equal opportunities” and teacher education and is currently engaged in a number of research projects exploring the impact and significance of government policy in these areas. She has written extensively in the areas of gender and schooling and, more recently, on the effects of “new managerialism” on policy and practice in teacher education. Christine Zmroczek is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Women’s Studies at Roehampton Institute London and Editor in Chief of Women’s Studies International Forum. Together with Pat Mahony she has edited Class Matters (London: UCL Press 1997) and is editor of the series Women and Social Class for UCL Press. Her other research interests centre on twentieth-century women’s history, oral accounts of women’s lives, ethnicity and migration. Currently she is at work on two books on second and third generation daughters.
