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.
Reviews
No one interested in status-based inequalities (for example, gender, race, ethnicity) can afford to ignore this book.

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.
