If you can get hold of chapter 11 of the book I'm reading, Modern American Culture (edited by Bigsby) it's about women in America and absolutely eye-opening at the huge employment disparities we still have between men and women. The statistics shocked me.

Oh, thank you. I'll have to look into it. That sounds interesting.
