Book Description
In this book, the author builds on decades of complex research to examine the gender pay gap and the unequal distribution of labor between couples in the home. The author argues that although public and private discourse has brought these concerns to light, the actions taken - such as a single company slapped on the wrist or a few progressive leaders going on paternity leave - are the economic equivalent of tossing a band-aid to someone with cancer. These solutions, the author writes, treat the symptoms and not the disease of gender inequality in the workplace and economy. Here, the author points to data that reveals how the pay gap widens further down the line in women's careers, about 10 to 15 years out, as opposed to those beginning careers after college. She examines five distinct groups of women over the course of the twentieth century: cohorts of women who differ in terms of career, job, marriage, and children, in approximated years of graduation - 1900s, 1920s, 1950s, 1970s, and 1990s - based on various demographic, labor force, and occupational outcomes. The book argues that our entire economy is trapped in an old way of doing business; work structures have not adapted as more women enter the workforce. Gender equality in pay and equity in home and childcare labor are flip sides of the same issue, and the author frames both in the context of a serious empirical exploration that has not yet been put in a long-run historical context. This book offers a deep look into census data, rich information about individual college graduates over their lifetimes, and various records and sources of material to offer a new model to restructure the home and school systems that contribute to the gender pay gap and the quest for both family and career. --

Excerpt from Careers for Women It is hoped that this book will be of value to high-school and college women, and if it is of service in any of the ways sug gested above, its justification is assured. It does not attempt completeness but it is hoped that the material contained in these pages will be of help and encouragement to those who are uncertain both about the work they want to do and the preparation which will have the most direct bearing on the career they choose; to those who wish to be informed as to what is being accomplished by women; to classes in schools and colleges devoted to the study of occupations. The num ber of these classes is rapidly increasing and their value cannot be overestimated. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
