Social location and gender-role attitudes:: A comparison of Black and white women.Karen Dugger - 1988 - Gender and Society 2 (4):425-448.details Theorists have posited that investment in production has a radical impact on women's gender-role attitudes, whereas investment in reproduction exerts a conservative influence. Informed by an interactive approach to understanding the effects of racism and sexism, this article explores the commonalities and differences in Black and White women's gender-role attitudes, and assesses the applicability to Black women of the investment-in-production and investment-in-reproduction hypothesis. The data in part supported the contention that this hypothesis would be more valid for White than Black (...) Download Export citation Bookmark 7 citations
The non-effects of class on the gender division of labor in the home:: A comparative study of sweden and the united states.Janeen Baxter, Maureen Dolan, Shu-Ling Hwang, Karen Shire & Erik Olin Wright - 1992 - Gender and Society 6 (2):252-282.details This article explores the relationship between class and the gendered domestic division of labor by examining how the contribution by husbands to housework in dual-career families varies across the class system. The article uses data from the United States and Sweden. The findings indicate that location in the class structure is not a powerful or systematic determinant of variations in the division of labor across households.

Feminist political discourses:: Radical versus liberal approaches to the feminization of poverty and comparable worth.Johanna Brenner - 1987 - Gender and Society 1 (4):447-465.details Feminist campaigns concerning feminization of poverty and comparable worth are analyzed in terms of their major policy goals and the arguments typically used to justify those goals. The differences between liberal and radical discourses on each issue are outlined and the implications for feminist practice discussed. It is concluded that situating the issues of women's poverty and pay equity in a liberal political discourse may strengthen important ideological and social underpinnings of women's subordination.

Possibilities and limits of the comparable worth movement.Linda M. Blum - 1987 - Gender and Society 1 (4):380-399.details The emergence and growth of the comparable worth or pay-equity movement in the United States in the last six years signals a major shift in strategies for women's economic advancement—away from affirmative action strategies aimed at job integration, toward upgrading conditions for gender-segregated work itself. Although much has been written on comparable worth from technical and structural perspectives, my research explores a different set of questions. From qualitative research on two California localities, I ask what the issue represents to those (...) Download Export citation Bookmark 3 citations
