Gender of Capital

In countries with officially egalitarian property law, women still accumulate less wealth than men. Combining quantitative, ethnographic, and archival research, The Gender of Capital explains how and why women of all classes are economically disadvantaged at crucial junctures in family life such as divorce, inheritance, and succession.

In tarile cu drept de proprietate oficial egalitar, femeile acumuleaza mai putina avere decat barbatii. Combinand cercetari cantitative, etnografice si de arhiva, Genul capitalului explica cum si de ce femeile din toate clasele sunt dezavantajate economic in momente cruciale din viata de familie, cum ar fi divortul, mostenirea si succesiunea.
