DESCRIPTION:
Excellent and Insightful C. Ullman As a professor, I assign this book in both my undergraduate political science class on gender inequality and my graduate level class on work/family policy. It offers important insights into the political economy of gender inequality in labor markets, politics, and the family and is written in a straightforward, accessible style. The argument is supported by quantitative analysis that my students can choose to read or not.

Looking at women's power in the home, in the workplace & in politics from a political economy perspective, Torben Iversen & Frances Rosenbluth demonstrate that equality is tied to demand for women's labour outside the home, which is a function of structural, political & institutional conditions.
