Women in Delaware: A Documented Profile.
Stewart, Hester R.; Cannon, Mary E.
A source of demographic data concerning the status of women in Delaware, this document includes multiple charts, graphs, and statistical information concerning women in the areas of (1) population characteristics, (2) marital status and living arrangements, (3) labor force participation, and (4) income and earnings. Included are data for the female population by age, years of education, and median income. Comparing women's earning in relation to men's, the average earnings for women with four years of college were lower than for men with less than eighth-grade education. The study found that income varied according to sex, family type, age, and race; that child care facilities are a crucial need; and that the majority of women will spend a portion of life divorced or widowed.
