Description: 

Program which explores how "women's work," a necessary part of industrial society, goes largely unrecognized because the labor is not rewarded with pay. First Kathren Sadler reads from a book Women and Economics, written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman in 1898. Even at this early date, feminists recognized that women's work went unrecognized. Next, Marilyn Waring is interviewed about her book If Women Counted, in which she examines the global power of women in the workforce, but that women are slow to recognize their significant role and organize that power. She points to how GNP ignores women's labor, the production value of women, and how the environmental movement could prove a model for organizing.|MONEY, WORK AND GENDER BIAS : WOMEN AND ECONOMICS / Kathern Sadler and Marilyn Waring.
