  • Economic theories are tested and supported through the use of rich empirical studies, including statistics and evidence drawn from a variety of geographically, culturally, racially, and ethnically diverse groups, to present a fuller picture of the relationship between women and the economy.
  • Entire chapters devoted to family leave, Social Security, tax policy, poverty and welfare, and childcare demonstrate a strong focus on policy analysis.
