Review # 1 was written on 2017-06-10 00:00:00 Olaf Nagel Great account of some of the most prominent topics when it comes to women and economics: from the reasons behind "the economic emergence of women", which provides a broad and deep coverage of the history of female employment with different theoretical explanations; to the future-looking policy proposals of the last chapter. The book is quite broad when it comes to topic coverage: it does focus a lot on labor market discrimination: roots, different ways of discrimination, ways forward. The economic role of housewives is also well discussed, as are other topics such as affirmative action, work life balance or the especial -and difficult- situation of lone parents (who are mostly, let's face it, women). The book is easy to read and yet it does not fall short of theoretical insights or deep and contrasted explanations. Loads and loads of data to be found. Fully recommended!
