The author has developed a unique set of data drawn from the US census, statistics, city directories, and other sources to look at the differences between men and women in the American labour force. She argues that the gender gap in income and job level that has existed throughout history cannot be explained simply as a matter of sex discrimination, nor as a result of inherent structural phenomena in the employment market. The book is published in conjunction with the National Bureau of Economic Research.
