Statistical Analysis
Having summarized earlier in this chapter the literature on the factors that are potentially associated with the percentage of applicants who are women, we now investigate whether the data on hiring collected in our surveys support the hypotheses put forth by earlier investigators. In our applicant models, the following institutional, departmental, and position-level variables measured […]

Case Study 4: Under-Educating Women
Brine (1999) offers an analysis of what she defines as the ‘“class ceiling” [these are] the structures and processes that prevent working-class women from getting out of the cellar’ (ibid.: 2). In this her analysis focuses on European education and training policy. This is because education and training appear to offer a way out of […]

Lineage is more important than marriage As far as my anthropological knowledge goes1 the lineage/marriage balance differs from one society to the next, and in matrilineal/matrilocal societies (like the northern Mozambican Makhuwa) the lineage group to which you belong by birth is more important that the one to which you are connected by marriage.

Concerns about the future are reflected in the somewhat contradictory language with which the professional middle-class parents discussed the aspirations they hold out for their children. They spoke about their kids “finding a path that interests them.” Theoretically, the parents suggest, this path can go in a number of different directions. Eve Todd’s daughter might […]
Material Inequality
There is a strange paradox about the current practice of social science. On the one hand, statistical evidence. . . shows that inequalities between social groups have been increasing… At the same time interest in material inequalities as a topic for social scientific analysis has been steadily diminishing, especially those forms of inequality. . .

Family
In addition to the legislation pertaining to marriage, divorce, and gender equality, the Labour Law, promulgated on 24 June 1946, was also premised on the importance of protecting the integrity of the family. This law includes special stipulations for the protection of children and mothers, prohibiting them from ‘toilsome or harmful labour’, in addition to […]
Feminists Attack Gender Inequality
A different radical challenge to hostile worlds and separate spheres legal principles comes from a cluster of feminist legal scholars who claim that separation of spheres fundamentally undermines women’s interests.[17] Turning traditional women’s work exclusively into a matter of sentiment dangerously obscures its economic value. American courts, these scholars argue, have long collaborated in such […]
