The twentieth century gave rise to profound changes in traditional sex roles.

This study reveals how modernization has changed cultural attitudes towards gender equality and analyzes the political consequences. It systematically compares attitudes towards gender equality worldwide, comparing almost 70 nations, ranging from rich to poor, agrarian to postindustrial.

This volume is essential reading to gain a better understanding of issues in comparative politics, public opinion, political behavior, development and sociology.
