Brother, Can You Spare a Dime: The Economics of Gender Inequality, Pt. IV
IV. Inflexibility of Gender/Pay Relationship Transgender pay differences reflect gender pay differences.

Brother, Can You Spare A Dime: Economics of Gender Inequality, Pt.2
II. The Myth of the Feminine Mystique Conservative economists like Chapman argue that women generally have chosen to enter fields that pay less, but that’s another way of saying that we don’t regard female-dominated fields such as teaching, nursing, psychology, and social work as professional domains worthy of significant compensation.

Brother, Can You Spare a Dime: Notes on Gender Inequality, Part 1

The Sexual Paradox: Or, Women are from School, Men are from Work
In this recent article from the New York Times about Susan Pinker’s new book, The Sexual Paradox: Men, Women, and the Real Gender Gap, Emily Bazelon writes, “In her zeal, Pinker veers to the onesided. She doesn’t acknowledge that some of the research cited in her footnotes is either highly questionable as social science (Louise [...]
