This book focuses on issues of family, work, and gender, with a
focus on gender inequality. Women are disadvantaged in both paid
and domestic work, due in large part to being primarily responsible
for duties within the domestic sphere. The COVID-19 pandemic has
exacerbated these inequalities, making the issue of reducing gender
inequality even more pressing. Fathers play an important role in
contributing to, and perhaps reducing, gender inequality, but
barriers to their involvement in family life have received less
attention than detailing challenges that mothers face. If men were
equally involved in all aspects of domestic life (i.e., were fully
engaged dads), women's burdens would be reduced and perceptions of
who is responsible for parenting may change, resulting in greater
gender equality. Father Involvement and Gender Equality in the
United States focuses on the key issue of father involvement,
seeking to understand why fathers are less involved at home than
mothers despite an increased desire for fathers to be more engaged
parents. This book utilizes recent national survey data, interviews
with fathers, and insights from the author's personal experience as
a father to identify current norms of fatherhood within the United
States, barriers to father involvement, and strategies to overcome
these barriers. Overall, this book argues that by establishing the
expectation that fathers will be fully engaged dads as a cultural
norm, and by providing structural opportunities for fathers to meet
this cultural standard, greater gender equality can be achieved
within the United States. The arguments presented in this book are
valuable for scholars in the areas of family, work, and gender,
policymakers and business leaders who seek to promote gender
equality and work-family balance, and parents who are interested in
achieving a more egalitarian division of labor within their own
families.

not be the end. Even as the city expands, the citizens' unrest
grows. And the phantasmagorical lands Between will tolerate the
city's intrusion no longer. Between. A shadow realm of nightmare

but its inhabitants have their own ideas. Pulled back into a world
of intrigue and terror, can an investigator unravel the secrets of
his murdered love? Maybe if he can survive the terrors from Between
long enough. Everything's about to break.
