In this updated edition of a groundbreaking classic, Alice Kessler-Harris explores the meanings of womens wages in the United States in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, focusing on three issues that capture the transformation of womens roles: the battle over minimum wage for women, which exposes the relationship between family ideology and workplace demands; the argument concerning equal pay for equal work, which challenges gendered patterns of self-esteem and social organization; and the debate over comparable worth, which seeks to incorporate traditionally female values into new work and family trajectories. Together, these topics illuminate the many ways in which gendered social meaning has been produced, transmitted, and challenged.
