                 Women have entered the labor market in unprecedented numbers, yet these critically               needed workers still earn less than men and have fewer opportunities for advancement.                   This book studies the evolution of the female labor force in America, looking at the issue          of gender distinction in the workplace and challenging the idea that women's employment    advances were a response to social revolution rather than long-run economic progress.          Employing history methods and new data on employment, earnings, work experience, discrimination, and hours of work, it establishes that the present economic status of women has evolved gradually over the last two centuries and that  the past        conceptions of women workers persist.
