Female workers, particularly those from poor or ethnic minority backgrounds, were often the first to lose their jobs amidst unprecedented layoffs and economic uncertainty. National lockdowns and widespread restrictions blurred the boundaries between work and home life and increased the burden of domestic work on women within patriarchal societies. This so-called 'new normal in everyday life also exposed women to increased levels of gender-based violence and the likelihood of contracting COVID-19 due to overcrowding.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis edited volume includes contributions from leading applied and clinical sociologists working and living in Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas, providing a global overview of the impact of the pandemic on women. Each chapter adopts an applied and clinical sociological approach in analyzing gendered vulnerabilities. The volume innovatively uses personal accounts, including narratives, interviews, autoethnographies, and focus group discussions, to explore women's lived experiences during the pandemic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis edited collection will greatly interest students, academics, and researchers in the humanities and social sciences with an interest in gender and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 790g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032211756\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44596280393978,"sku":"9781032211756","price":151.28,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1696005258735_book.jpg?v=1696154741","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/women-and-covid19-a-clinical-and-applied-sociological-focus-on-family-work-and-community-9781032211756","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
