Rethinking Stratification from a Feminist Perspective: Gender, Race, and Class in Mainstream Textbooks

Myra Marx Ferree and Elaine J. Hall

And answer the following questions on these classic readings:

1. When “Class, Gender and Relations…” was written, “unpaid domestic labor” was really in its infancy of debate, but now we understand that the presence of women has increased markedly in the labor market, yet women are still not on parity of earnings with men (roughly 80% of the earnings of men in the same position): What specific points would you add to the “Class, Gender and Relations…” article if you were to write it today?

2. Explain how you would change the “Three Aspects of the Feminine Challenge to Sociology” in the “Rethinking stratification” if you were to produce an updated edition to the article today.
