In Pursuit of Equity Women, Men, and the Quest for Economic Citizenship in 20Th-Century America

"But no one has yet done what Alice Kessler-Harris has in her newest book....In lucid prose with vivid (and sometimes comic) illustrations of the snarled thinking that results from conceiving of women as dependents--rather than equal in heading families--she offers a vision of how we can move toward greater democracy. In the process she also shows us what we are up against. Her book illustrates brilliantly how assumptions about appropriate gender roles are built into all aspects of policy."Kessler-Harris, Alice is the author of 'In Pursuit of Equity Women, Men, and the Quest for Economic Citizenship in 20Th-Century America', published 2003 under ISBN 9780195158021 and ISBN 0195158024.
