Does anyone know this book?

Glass Ceilings and Bottomless Pits: Women's Work, Women's Poverty - R.
Albelda/C. Tilly

It seems relevant to our previous discussions about Fortunati and gender
inequality, at least in the U.S., but I am not familiar with it.  I read a
review by a woman who was used to living on $300,000 a year (A huge amount
in the US for anyone not aware of the conversion rate), who lost everything
and became homeless as a result of the divorce process.  She loved it and it
spoke to her experience about the connection between being a single
woman/mother and impoverishment in the US.

Anyway, I may try to find it and see if it has interesting material, but I'd
rather not waste money if anyone knows it.

Cheers,
Chris
