In this updated edition of a pathbreaking classic, Alice
Kessler-Harris explores the meanings of women's wages in the United
States in the twentieth and twenty first centuries, focusing on
three issues that capture the transformation of women's roles: the
battle over minimum wage for women, which exposes the relationship
between family ideology and workplace demands; the argument
concerning equal pay for equal work, which challenges gendered
patterns of self-esteem and social organization; and the debate
over comparable worth, which seeks to incorporate traditionally
female values into new work and family trajectories. Together,
these topics and social organization; and the debate over
comparable worth, which seeks to incorporate traditionally female
values into new work and family trajectories. Together, these
topics illuminate the many ways in which gendered social roles have
been produced, transmitted, and challenged.
