Award-winning scientist and philosopher Cordelia Fine provides a sharp and clear-eyed analysis of how the gendered division of labour is built and why it persists.
The effects of gendered division is both cause and consequence of men’s greater status and power, and affects not just our workplaces, but contributes to poverty, undermining health, putting pressure on family life and preserving females’ second-class status, causing real harm and injustice for both sexes.
Fine, whose work analyses biological explanations of behavioural sex differences and workplace gender inequalities, explores the effects of gender-related attitudes and biases on judgements, decision-making and workplace gender equality. She talks to award-winning writer, comedian, playwright and broadcaster, Viv Groskop.
