Description
Winner of the 2023 Nobel Prize in EconomicsA
renowned economic historian traces
women8217sjourney to close the gender wage gap
and sheds new light on the continued struggle to
achieve equity between couples at homeA
century ago, it was a given that a woman with a
college degree had to choose between having a
career and a family. Today, there are more female
college graduates than ever before, and
more women want to have a career and family, yet
challenges persist at work and at home. This book
traces how generations of women have responded to
the problem of balancing career and family as the
twentieth century experienced a sea change in
gender equality, revealing why true equity for
dual career couples remains frustratingly out of
reach.Drawing on decades of her own
groundbreaking research, Claudia Goldin
provides a fresh, in-depth look at the diverse
experiences of college- educated women from the
1900s to today, examining the aspirations they
formed8212an the barriers they faced8212interm
s of career, job, marriage, and children. She
shows how many professions are 8220gredy,8221p
aying disproportionately more for long hours and
weekend work, and how this perpetuates
disparities between women and men. Goldin
demonstrates how the era of COVID-19 has severely
hindered women8217sadvancement, yet how the
growth of remote and flexible work may be the
pandemic8217ssilver lining.Antidiscrimination
laws and unbiased managers, while valuable, are
not enough. Career and Family explains why
we must make fundamental changes to the way we
work and how we value caregiving if we are ever
to achieve gender equality and couple equity.
