Reviews

"I have read this text with great pleasure and keep using it whenever working on gender, work and/or on tourism issues. It is a great resource for anybody interested in either of those issues", Minu Hemmati, Tourism in Focus, Spring 2000, No.35

'The book is a very valuable contribution to the social scientific study of gender and work, and is highly recommended to those engaged in studying, teaching or researching gender in fields like anthropology, sociology, geography and economics.' - Tourism Recreation Research
