"Donna Reed and the Partisan Gender Gap: How Changes in Aggregate Social Identities have Caused Changes in the Partisan Gender Gap" Paper presented at the annual meeting of the American Political Science Association, Marriott Wardman Park, Omni Shoreham, Washington Hilton, Washington, DC, Sep 01, 2005 <Not Available>. 2009-11-24 <http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p41247_index.html>Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript

Abstract: This paper is part of a larger project on the partisan gender gap between 1953 to 2003. I argue that the gender gap is a function of the changing meaning of being a man or a woman, what I call aggregate social identity. I contend that social, political, and economic events give rise to shifts in aggregate social identity. These shifts produce new policy needs on behalf of women and men, resulting in the reshuffling of partisan attachments along the division already existing in the parties. Then parties shift to
conform to the views of their new constituents. In this paper I explore one measure of aggregate social identity, attitudes about women.
I use Stimson's (1999) dynamic algorithm to construct a global measure of public opinion about women. I then explore what causes changes in Americans' attitudes about the role and status of women in society. Finally, I explore the impact this opinion has on the partisan gender gap between 1953 and 2003. The dependent variable in the analysis of the gender gap consists of a yearly series generated from Gallup surveys. I demonstrate that changes in the attitudes about women has caused changes in
the gender gap in partisanship. |

Paper presented at the annual meeting of the American Sociological Association Annual Meeting, Sheraton Boston and the Boston Marriott Copley Place, Boston, MA, Jul 31, 2008 Online <PDF>. 2009-11-24 <http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p243214_index.html>Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript
Abstract: This paper provides the first estimates of the motherhood wage gap for U.S. immigrant women. Women’s wages have been found to decrease non-incrementally with additional children and the gap has been found to vary by demographic group. We estimate the gap for immigrant women with 58 broad and specific self reported ancestries. We find that the motherhood wage gap for immigrant women is similar in structure to that for native women and ranges from 2 to 8 percent among immigrant women with 1 to 4 or more children compared to a range of 4 to 15 percent for native women. The size of the gap varies by immigrant women’s ancestry. Canadian, Italian and German immigrant women have higher motherhood wage gaps than U.S. native women while gaps do not appear to exist among the largest groups of South Asian immigrant women. Additionally, motherhood wage gaps occur among higher numbers of ancestry groups as number of children increases from 1 to 3. We explore possible connections between the motherhood wage gap and variations in earnings, age and educational attainment by immigrant women’s ancestry and numbers of children |
