The "New Soft War On Women"

Tarcher Penguin Books

Women rule!  Or should, right?  In the United States today, women are half the educated work force and earn more than half the advanced college degrees. 

And yet, women still earn barely more than 75 cents for every dollar men make.  Caryl Rivers and Rosalind C. Barnett research and write about women's issues, and they lay out the case for what they call The New Soft War on Women.
