A More than Suitable Introduction to Gender Inequality April 11, 2008
While I wouldn't go as far as to say that this is an authoritative text on gender inequality, this text does an excellent job of outlining not only what work and gender are in a Sociological context, but also how gender has been perceived in society. These perceptions, according to the text, affect how women are raised, paid, and in general, what is expected of women. To a lesser extent, there is also an emphasis on trends regarding women in the workplace, both good and bad.
This text has done a good job of remaining neutral of perspectives such as feminism and the critical-conflict paradigm; the only concern is information in this text, leaving the reader to draw their own conclusions or to do further research about how to solve these issues.
If you are looking for solutions to gender inequality in the workplace, I would instead encourage one to do further reading on applying non-discrimination policies and pro-diversity initiatives (which not only focus on gender inequality, but race inequality as well).
