But as Theresa Amott shows, there is still vast gender inequality in income, wealth, and occupational distribution.\u003cbr\u003e Women, Amott explains, face gender discrimination by employers, the juggling of parental and household responsibilities, and an unreliable economy. In a short survey, ranging from managerial and professional positions to clerical and manufacturing work, and across such policy issues as health care, welfare, and child care, \u003cb\u003eCaught in the Crisis\u003c\/b\u003e demonstrates that women have carried a heavy economic burden in recent decades.
