title: Five Decades of Remarkable but Slowing Change in U.S. Women's Economic and Social Status and Political Participation.
abstract: The last fifty years of women's social and economic progress have been lauded as the "grand gender convergence," the "second demographic transition," and the "rise of women"-terms pointing to the remarkable transformation in women's social and economic roles since the 1960s. Many metrics document these changes.
