UNDER THE BUS: HOW WORKING WOMEN ARE BEING RUN OVER

Book ID/图书代码： 12861018C00015

English Summary/英文概要： Called a “damn fine book” by Elle magazine, the hardcover edition of Under the Bus changed the conversation about women at work—the question is not only about those women at the top trying to “break the glass ceiling” but instead why millions are stuck on the sticky floor.

Fredrickson shows that our labor laws are based on outdated, misogynistic, and racist assumptions that leave huge sectors of the workforce without a minimum wage or the right to unionize and subject to wage theft, physical and sexual abuse, and pregnancy discrimination, despite laws that purport to protect all workers. Laws are written through compromise and negotiation, and in each case vulnerable workers were the bargaining chip that was sacrificed to guarantee the policy’s enactment.

“Unpack[ing] the history of the racism and sexism that has left so many working women and people of color without adequate protections" (Mother Jones) Under the Bus offers "a call to action for women who have been left behind in the fight to secure fair labor standards" (Washington Independent Review of Books).

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本书被Elle杂志称为一部“特别杰出的佳作”，改变了有关职业女性的对话+问题不仅仅在于那些处于上层试图“打破天花板”的女性，还有更多数以百万计的女性“被粘在地板上无法翻身”。 Fredrickson指出，我们的劳动法是建立在过时的、厌恶妇女和种族主义假设基础之上的，因此，尽管有些法律声称保护所有劳动者，但大多数劳动部门都没有最低工资，也没有工会，还存在克扣工资、身体和性虐待、怀孕歧视等问题。法律是妥协和协商的结果，而往往手无寸铁的劳动者最终成为了为确保政策实施而被牺牲掉的谈判筹码。 本书揭开了那些另职业女性和有色人种无法受到足够保护的种族主义和性别歧视的历史，号召大家采取行动帮助那些在争取公平劳动标准的过程中被遗忘的女性群体。（LYR）
