Unlike other feminists, Ruth O'Brien bases her ethics not on benevolence, but rather on self-preservation. She relies on Deleuze's and Guttari's interpretation of Spinoza and Foucault's conception of corporeal resistance to show how a workplace ethic that is neither communitarian nor individualistic can be based upon the rallying cry "one for all and all for one."Gender, disability, and an alternative ethic of carePeople with disabilitiesEmploymentUnited StatesPeople with disabilitiesEmploymentLaw and legislationUnited StatesSex discrimination in employmentUnited StatesAge discrimination in employmentUnited StatesIndustrial relationsSocial aspectsUnited StatesQuality of work lifeUnited StatesFeminist ethicsPeople with disabilitiesEmploymentPeople with disabilitiesEmploymentLaw and legislationSex discrimination in employmentAge discrimination in employmentIndustrial relationsSocial aspectsQuality of work lifeFeminist ethics.331.13/3/0973O'Brien Ruth1960-1045633MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910790943403321Bodies in revolt3766780UNINA
