Early chapters focus on her pioneering work on women's labor during the Great Depression and the World War II years. In the book's second half, Milkman turns to the past fifty years, a period that saw a dramatic decline in gender inequality even as growing class imbalances created greater-than-ever class disparity among women. She concludes with a previously unpublished essay comparing the impact of the Great Depression and the Great Recession on women workers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA first-of-its-kind collection, \u003ci\u003eOn Gender, Labor, and Inequality\u003c\/i\u003e is an indispensable text by one of the world's top scholars of gender, equality, and work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ruth Milkman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0252040325\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780252040320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Illinois Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.20w x 1.20d","brand":"Ruth Milkman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45264982606079,"sku":"9780252040320","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_76e7f65c-cb30-45b9-8a3e-e3d07c567e2a.jpg?v=1713419815","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/on-gender-labor-and-inequality-ruth-milkman-9780252040320","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
