Publisher's Synopsis
Despite nearly two decades of advocacy for equal education and employment in the USA, women remain clustered in the lowest-paid, lowest-status jobs in clerical, service and industrial work. This book examines the critical link between sex stereotyping in education and occupational inequities in the workplace. Contributors assess the impact of sex and race stereotyping and discrimination on girls in school, examine workplace issues such as occupational segregation, and discuss the role of education in perpetuating or alleviating women's poverty.
