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.

Editorial Reviews
Review
?I've never met Cynthia Taeuber, but if our paths ever cross, she should be prepared for a hug. The first edition of her compilation of statistics from U.S. government sources has saved me countless hours of work trying to figure out which unit of the federal bureacracy collects the particular type of information a researcher asks about - and, of course, the actual answer to the researcher's question is often right there in the book anyway....so handy when you need just the right number to clinch an argument on a women's issue that it should be acquired by all.?-Feminist Collections
