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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sue Headlee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0275955362\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780275955366\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/25\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.54h x 6.44w x 0.95d","brand":"Sue Headlee","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47001115230463,"sku":"9780275955366","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e06a11b1-c083-45a9-b4fb-63d45091de3e.jpg?v=1751600108","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-cost-of-being-female-sue-headlee-9780275955366","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
