The Eye of the Beholder: The UNSNA as Applied Patriarchy and How the UNSNA Makes Women Invisible
Author(s)
Waring, Marilyn J.
Abstract
In this chapter, the author examines the role of the UNSNA as a system of applied patriarchy. She explains that the laws of economics and those that govern the UNSNA are creations of the male mind and do not reflect or encompass the reality of the female world. The conceptual models are limited to the world that the economist knows or observes, and housework is most certainly not part of that world.
