They go on to explain several anomalies of modern gender politics: why women vote differently from men; why women are better represented in the workforce in the United States than in other countries but less well represented in politics; why men share more of the household work in some countries than in others; and why some countries have such low fertility rates.The first book to integrate the micro-level of families with the macro-level of national institutions, Women, Work, and Politics presents an original and groundbreaking approach to gender inequality.Yale ISPS series.WomenPolitical activityUnited StatesWomen and democracyUnited StatesWomenEconomic conditionsUnited StatesWomenEmploymentUnited StatesSexual division of laborElectronic books.WomenPolitical activityWomen and democracyWomenEconomic conditionsWomenEmploymentSexual division of labor.305.420973Iversen Torben118115Rosenbluth Frances McCall254544MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910452858503321Women, work, and politics2471100UNINA
