The book argues that male-female earnings differentials cannot be explained adequately by market forces, principles of efficiency, or society-wide sexism. Rather it suggests that employing organizations tend to disadvantage holders of predominantly female jobs by denying them power in organizational politics and by reproducing male cultural advantages. These findings contradict major legal precedents which have argued that labor markets and not employers are the source of inequality. The authors further argue that comparable worth is an inappropriate remedy, as such an approach misdiagnoses the causes of gender inequality and often falls prey to the same organizational processes that initially generated this differential. The book argues that the courts have, by uncritically accepting the market explanation for male-female wage disparity, tended to legitimate and to legalize a crucial dimension of gender inequality in American society. 410 0$aStructural analysis in the social sciences ;$v16. 606 $aPay equity$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States 606 $aPay equity$zUnited States 615 0$aPay equity$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aPay equity 676 $a331.2/153/0973 700 $aNelson$b Robert L.$f1952-$0885671 701 $aBridges$b William P$0233 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814949603321 996 $aLegalizing gender inequality$94190540 997 $aUNINA
