Description: The present tax system was designed half a century ago to accommodate the male-dominated single-earner family, and its deep gender biases have not since been questioned. In this pathbreaking book written for an audience with no prior tax knowledge, Edward J. McCaffery clearly demonstrates how today's tax system is unfair to all women, whether they are single or married, rich or poor.
