Annis May Timpson demonstrates how Canadian women’s calls for family-friendly employment policies have translated into inaction or inappropriate action on the part of successive federal governments. She focuses on debates, public inquiries, and policy evolution during the Trudeau, Mulroney, and Chrétien eras, contextualizing these developments with a discussion of the changing patterns of women’s employment since the Second World War. Drawing on a wealth of interviews and close analysis of primary documents, Driven Apart explains why federal governments have been able to implement employment equity policies but have failed to develop a national system of child care.

Reviews for Driven Apart: Women's Employment Equality and Child Care in Canadian Public Policy
[A] meticulously researched and engagingly written book ... Those interested in Canadian politics and administration should find this book as illuminating as those interested in employment policy and in policy issues differentially affecting women.
