This book explores the representation of women’s interests in the world of work across four trade unions in France and the UK.
Drawing on case studies of the careers of 100 activists, it unveils the social, organisational and political conditions that contribute to the reproduction of gender inequalities or, on the contrary, allow the promotion of equality. Unique in its comparative approach, it provides a systematic analysis of both the public and private sectors.
Guillaume’s nuanced evaluation is a call to adopt an intersectional approach to equality, contributing to broader debates on the effectiveness of equality and diversity policies.
