From a historical perspective, this book seeks the key factors driving the change in women's labor market participation rate and gender wage gap, combing the time series data of American women's employment in the labor market from the late 19th century to the late 20th century for more than 100 years, and analyzing the changes in American women's education, marriage, childbearing, income and social status over this century. Behind these changes, the author reveals the crucial role that factors such as technological changes, market structures, ethical norms, and policy formulation have played in promoting women's employment, eliminating gender discrimination, and increasing women's labor participation rate over the past 100 years.
