Book Description:<\/span><\/p>\n

For the first time in history, women make up half\u00a0the educated labor force and are earning the majority of advanced degrees.\u00a0It should be the best time ever for women, and yet… it\u2019s not. Storm clouds are gathering, and the worst thing is that most women don\u2019t have a clue what could be coming. In large part this is because the message they\u2019re being fed is that they now have it made. But do they?<\/p>\n

In The New Soft War on Women<\/i>, respected experts on gender issues and the psychology of women Caryl Rivers and Rosalind C. Barnett argue that an insidious war of subtle biases and barriers is being waged that continues to marginalize women. Although women have made huge strides in recent years, these gains have not translated into money and influence.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
