White Women Teaching White Women about White Privilege, Race Cognizance and Social Action: Toward a pedagogical pragmatics
In this article, the authors describe a four-phase pedagogical project they undertook in response to the strong resistance they encountered from a number of their white women students who objected to the readings and discussions of white skin privilege. In an interdisciplinary program where 73% of the students are white women, the authors teach upper-level university social science courses that include the study of racism. White women themselves,…

The Demand for Female Labor
A number of theorists identify the demand for female labor as a central determinant of gender inequality. The authors construct a measure of the demand for female labor and test its impact on labor market inequality, educational attainment, family structure, political representation, and gender role attitudes across 261 metropolitan areas. Areas with more traditional female occupational structures have less labor market and educational gender ine…

All Women Benefit: The Macro-Level Effect of Occupational Integration on Gender Earnings Equality
Macro-level processes transfer many of the income benefits of occupational integration to all women in the labor market, not just to those women who enter predominantly male (and therefore high-paying) occupations. The authors investigate these macro-level effects in a multi-level model comparing 261 metropolitan area labor markets. They find that occupational integration is strongly associated with gender earnings equality, even after extensive …

Gender Inequality in Nonmetropolitan and Metropolitan Areas1
Nonmetropolitan-metropolitan differences in the United States are large and growing, but we know relatively little about how they interact with gender differences. Using data from the CPS, the Census PUMS, and the GSS, we find nonmetropolitan and metropolitan areas are quite similar in the gender gap in earnings and in rates of married women's labor force participation. Occupational sex segregation is higher and some gender attitudes are a few pe…
Occupational Gender Desegregation in the 1980s
This article examines the change in occupational gender segregation in the 1980s using 1980 and 1990 Public Use Microdata Samples data. This research reveals a continuing decline in occupational gender segregation in the 1980s, but at a somewhat slower pace than in the 1970s. About three quarters of the overall desegregation was due to the changing gender composition of occupations, and about one quarter was due to the faster growth of more integ…
