Women in Britain

Aiming to present the basic facts about the lives of women in Britain today, this study covers population, households, families and housing, health, education, paid work, income and wealth, transport, unpaid time, crime and the law, the media and the arts, public participation and black women. Information is gathered from a wide variety of sources and statistical data is presented in a readily accesssible, graphic form. Women's experience is compared to that of men and the consistent differences show how far women are from attaining any real equality.
