Description: "Taxes Are a Woman's Issue: Reframing the Debate provides a startling and stark snapshot of women's relationship to taxes and tax policy - and ultimately our nation's priorities. What we see is a system that mirrors the fundamental inequalities of gender, race, and class that continue to plague the United States; a system that often fails to serve the needs and aspirations of individuals and their families, and the nation as a whole."--Jacket.
