  • Gender and the Education-Employment Paradox in Ethnic and Religious Contexts

    Open AccessJen’nan Ghazal Read, Jen''Nan Ghazal Read et al.ARTICLEAmerican Sociological Review2008Citada por: 58Referências: 33

    Education is weakly related to employment for some groups of U.S. women. As such, it may be less of a resource for reducing gender inequality than commonly believed. Drawing on ethnographic field notes and in-depth interviews with Arab Americans, we recast the motivations and consequences of female education in terms of cultural schemas and resources and then analyze the processes that underlie the education-employment link in ethnic and religiou…

  • Gender Disparities in Adult Health

    Open AccessBridget K Gorman, Jen’nan Ghazal Read et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health and Social…2006Citada por: 44Referências: 39

    Recent examinations of gender differences in physical health suggest that women's disadvantage may be smaller than previously assumed, varying by health status measure and age. Using data from the 1997-2001 National Health Interview Surveys, we examine gender-by-age differences in life-threatening medical conditions, functional limitations, and self-rated health and consider whether potential mediating mechanisms (e.g., socioeconomic status, beha…

  • Family, religion, and work among Arab American women

    Open AccessJen’nan Ghazal Read, Jen''Nan Ghazal Read et al.ARTICLEJournal of Marriage and the Family2004Citada por: 24Referências: 9

    Using data from a national survey of 501 Arab American women, this study examines the extent to which family behavior mediates the influence of religion on women's labor force activity. Prior research on families has largely overlooked the role of religion in influencing women's labor force decisions, particularly at different stages of the life cycle. The analysis begins to address this gap by examining whether religious affiliation and religios…

  • The Sources of Gender Role Attitudes among Christian and Muslim Arab-American Women

    Jen’nan Ghazal Read, Jen''Nan Ghazal Read et al.ARTICLESociology of Religion2003Citada por: 52

    This study examines the impact of religion on the gender role attitudes of Arab-American women, members of an ethnic group comprised of Christians and Muslims. A popular stereotype of Arab-American women portrays them as Islamic traditionalists — veiled and secluded within the home, yet few empirical studies document the effects of Islam on Arab-American women's attitudes and behaviors. This study addresses this question and distinguishes particu…

  • To Veil or Not to Veil

    Open AccessJen’nan Ghazal Read, Jen''Nan Ghazal Read et al.ARTICLEGender & Society2000Citada por: 77Referências: 26

    The increasingly pervasive practice of veiling among Muslim women has stimulated a great deal of scholarly investigation and debate. This study brings empirical evidence to bear on current debates about the meaning of the veil in Islam. This article first examines the conflicting meanings of the veil among Muslim religious elites and Islamic feminists. Although the dominant gender discourse among Muslim elites strongly favors this cultural practi…
