Statistical Handbook on Women in America, 2nd Edition

The only comprehensive, one-stop source for statistics on women in the United States has now been updated and expanded. Included are approximately 340 new tables and charts, incisive data summaries, a glossary of terms, an extremely useful guide to information sources, as well as an extensive subject index. Highlights of the second edition include data from the 1990 Census, a new section on women's reproductive health, new statistics on women in sports and the armed forces, and broadened coverage of historical trends. Much more than a collection of numbers and cold facts, this handbook presents an accurate picture of the lives of American women today.
