Recenzii
"Unequal Before Birth is a powerful and necessary intervention in the discourse on maternity leave, moving beyond policy description to expose the deeply embedded inequalities shaping the experiences of low-income and racialised mothers. As the author rightly notes, 'if we believe that human life matters, then society's number one priority would be to give all human life the best chances for survival starting from birth.' This book compellingly demonstrates how far current systems fall short of that ideal. By integrating sociocultural history, theory, and lived experience into a coherent and accessible framework, it not only explains the persistence of inequality but also provides a foundation for meaningful reform. This is an essential resource for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners committed to advancing maternity leave justice."
