The paper analyzes social policies such as the Social Security System and taxation and points to gender bias in their construction.From the Paper:
In her book "In Pursuit of Equity" Kessler-Harris points out that men have always considered work as a measure of their manhood and that at the turn of the century many felt this sphere of their life being threatened by entrepreneurial opportunities and the changing workplace. This has led to gender bias against women in the workplace and in social policy in the United States which still exists today."More papers on Gender Studies:
