Full bibliography

Named by members of the Canadian Sociology and Anthropology Association as one of the most important works of Canadian sociology of the twentieth century, The Double Ghetto is a classic study of the segregated nature of women's work - and women's lives. Writing in the Canadian Journal of Sociology, Maureen Baker declared the book "a valuable contribution" when it first appeared. Today's working women find that while much has changed during the past three decades, all too many things remain the same. The Double Ghetto remains not only a landmark of Canadian sociology, but a disturbingly relevant examination of the challenges facing women in the workplace. --Publisher's description
