A recent report by Maria Shriver and the Center for American Progress points out that for the first time in our nation’s history, women are half of all U.S. workers and mothers are the primary breadwinners or co-breadwinners in nearly two-thirds of American families.

The report, A Woman’s Nation Changes Everything, covers issues of the workplace, health care, and raising families, money and the media. It includes essays by women, and men, who are leaders in their fields, and is readable in digestible chunks. Take a look here. 

AAUW (formerly known as the American Association of University Women) has developed a set of policy recommendations base on the report. You can read those here.
