Gender Inequality
by Mino Vianello, etc., Renata Siemienska, Natalia Damian, Eugen Lupri, Sergio Bolasco, Renato Coppi, and Enzo D'Arcangelo
Published 7 June 1990
This volume describes the outcome of a major international survey on political and social participation and discrimination by gender. The authors examine attitudes towards women and the impact of different social, cultural and political systems on gender inequality. Drawing on data gathered in Canada, Italy, Romania and Poland, the text clarifies the different impacts of social organization (capitalist and socialist) and cultural factors with implications for understanding the political and social role of gender across all nations.
