ABSTRACT

In her highly-acclaimed book, The End of Men: And the Rise of Women, author Hanna Rosin (2012) declared that the struggle for gender equality had been won. According to Rosin, Americans ha entered a new era, where women would routinely claim the advantages that once belonged to men. But as this chapter will show, the outlook is not quite as rosy as Rosin has described. There have been important gains but significant barriers still dampen US prospects for closing leadership gender gaps.
