Destined for Equality by Robert Max Jackson

This volume, the first integrated analysis of gender inequality's modern decline, tells the story of that progressive movement toward equality over the past two centuries in America, showing that women's status has risen consistently and continuously.
No one interested in status-based inequalities (for example, gender, race, ethnicity) can afford to ignore this book-- Janet Saltzman Chafetz * American Academy of Political and Social Science Annals *
This ambitious book deserves wide readership. One does not have to agree with Jackson that women were, as the title suggests, "destined for equality" to appreciate the force of his argument and the crisp and clear manner in which he presents it. -- Dennis A. Deslippe * Journal of American History *
Robert Max Jackson is Professor of Sociology at New York University.
