{"product_id":"taxes-are-a-womans-issue-mimi-abramovitz-9781558615229","title":"Taxes Are a Woman's Issue: Reframing the Debate","description":"Taxes determine the quality of our lives; they are responsible for the health of our environment, the safety of the roads we drive on, the condition of our public services, and the security of our homes and communities. For every woman who pays taxes and uses public services, and every man who cares about an effective and fair tax system, \u003ci\u003eTaxes Are a Woman's Issue\u003c\/i\u003e dares to expose not only how tax policies shape the size of our bank accounts but also sculpt our government and the nation's identity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhether you are rich, poor, a corporation or an individual, taxes provide the resources we need to sustain the nation's civil, social, and economic life, and help support the basic welfare of all individuals and families. They also mirror the fundamental inequities that people of different races, classes, and gender experience when they try to access the opportunities that taxes provide. So when probed by the lens of women's diverse experiences, tax policy narrates some of the ruthless realities of our economy and our society. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAuthors Mimi Abramovitz and Sandra Morgen, writing for the National Council for Research on Women, convincingly dispel myths about the current welfare system and expose how the IRS-supported tax system was created in, and caters to, a time before women entered the work force. By honestly discussing the many ways the current tax system disadvantages women, \u003ci\u003eTaxes Are a Woman's Issue\u003c\/i\u003e courageously teaches, as Linda Basch, the President of the Council, states, \"about positive changes that will improve the lives of all women and therefore their families, their communities, and the nation as a whole.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mimi Abramovitz, Sandra Morgen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1558615229\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781558615229\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Feminist Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.94h x 6.10w x 0.54d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/20\/2006 pg. 149\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2006 pg. 108\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2006 pg. 158","brand":"Mimi Abramovitz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939626549503,"sku":"9781558615229","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_6946b732-979b-46da-9c9c-3030d21381c0.jpg?v=1681442591","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/taxes-are-a-womans-issue-mimi-abramovitz-9781558615229","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
