Books by Sylvia Walby

Embraces two of the oldest professions - doctors and nurses - whose work practices are still highly traditional and yet currently at the forefront of radical change as health work is being reorganized to reflect the new political priorities of the 1990s.

Sylvia Walby offers an innovative new theoretical framework for explaining social inequalities around the world. A highly anticipated new book from a major name in the social sciences.

This important book will be essential reading for anyone with an interest in how questions of gender remake and are remade by the social and economic conditions in which they occur.
