The Cost of Being Female is 30 cents, say the authors of this
new book on discrimination against women. They demonstrate their
thesis by constructing an index that documents the costs of
discrimination against women in five aspects of life: economic,
political, social, education, and health. The index compares the
costs for American women with those of women in Sweden, Norway,
France and China, and measures the costs for three time periods:
1990s, 1950s, and the 19th century. The authors interviewed over 70
women, providing a human approach to the statistics of earnings,
occupations, political participation, marriage, divorce,
childrearing, education, and women's health. The women's narratives
are living testimony to the experiences of the costs of being
female.
