DttP does When Women Didn't Count

DttP: Documents to the People is the newsletter of GODORT, the Government Documents Roundtable of the American Library Association.  In the Inter 2018 issue Sonnet Ireland wrote a very nice review of my new book.  Here is part of it. 

"How many women were the head of their households in 1930?  How man were single mothers in 1890? Librarians have a desire to answer every question that comes their way, but some questions have no accurate answers.  This is especially true of government statistics on women, as Lopresti demonstrates beautifully...   His treatise on the subject is enlightening, delving into the inconsistencies in how women were considered (or ignored) across different government surveys.  Most infuriating are the times when results were labelled as unreliable or flat-out wrong because the answers did not meet expectations.... This books is an important work that sheds light on the sexism that permeates our statistics, even as recently as the last decade."
