Publisher Synopsis
'This book is both innovatory and stimulating and will break new ground for those not familiar with some of Goldin's 18 articles on women in the American economy.

This is a piece of outstanding scholarship based on exhaustive primary research and a high level of economic reasoning ... economic history as it should be.'

Understanding the Gender Gap is economic history as it should be.' Business History 'Goldin and her team of research assistants have not only confirmed wide and large-scale discrimination, but have added new and more positive information on America's working women.'
