Covering all aspects of labor force participation, she fully integrates, and tracks over time, the many facets of social stratification by gender in Israeli society. Though founded as an egalitarian society, Kraus's research clearly shows that traditional attitudes toward women in the Israeli workplace have prevailed over those more progressive. Consequently, the widely held impression that the status of women in Israel differs from that of their counterparts in other liberal democratic societies, is shown to be more myth than reality. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThough focusing on Israel, comparisons are made with other modern industrial societies, adding to the evidence accumulating on the changing trends in the status of women in the labor force that will interest scholars and students concerned as to how gender intersects with matters of political economy. Furthermore, the unique spectrum of communities in Israel, ranging from traditional Muslim Arab-Palestinians, through Christian Arab-Palestinians and Jews of African American origin, through to the more modernized Jews of European-American origin, enables simultaneous examinations of the various stages of women's integration in the labor force.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVERED KRAUS is Associate Professor at the University of Haifa, Israel, and co-edited \u003ci\u003ePromises In the Promised Land: Mobility and Inequality in Israel\u003c\/i\u003e (Greenwood Press, 1990) with Robert W.
