'The book makes a strong theoretical argument for broadening the scope when assessing gender inequality... a brief introduction to the capability approach with a specific focus on gender inequality; and the European case studies, especially those rich in historical detail, make the volume or individual chapters relevant for comparative scholars and potentially useful reading material for advanced undergraduate or graduate classes.' Contemporary Sociology 'By allowing us to grasp the changing nature and organization of livelihoods across time and space and linking these transformations to shifting social relations, the collection brings the complex and contradictory relationships between the household and the market into clearer view across the nineteenth and twentieth centuries - historical eras of profound social and economic transformation... By presenting new empirical evidence regarding contemporary gendered income and household inequality in Europe, as well as making clear recommendations on how unequal gender divisions of labor might be overcome, the volume is likely to be of real use and interest to European policymakers... By advancing the feminist project of addressing the omissions of conventional economic approaches, and by developing a historical perspective on the gender division of labor and household inequality, the collection contributes to academic research, particularly by providing fresh evidence of disadvantage and inequality... this collection provides extensive and useful analysis and evidence of gender inequality...'
