Bøger af Shani Orgad

Shani Orgad and Rosalind Gill examine how imperatives directed at women to "love your body" and "believe in yourself" imply that psychological blocks hold women back rather than entrenched social injustices.

Heading Home reveals the stark gap between the promise of gender equality and women's experience of continued injustice. It draws on in-depth interviews with highly educated London women who left paid employment to take care of their children, juxtaposed with media and policy depictions of women, work, and family.

Drawing on an original UK-wide study of public responses to humanitarian issues and how NGOs communicate them, this timely book provides the first evidence-based psychosocial account of how and why people respond or not to messages about distant suffering.
