Abstract

This dissertation features three papers examining inequality in the family. The first paper, published in Demography 49(4): 1433-1452, uses data from the National Survey of Family Growth (2002) to examine race and education differences in the likelihood that women have ever used particular forms of hormonal birth control and have ever stopped using hormonal birth control because of dissatisfaction. The second paper, conditionally accepted at Gender & Society, draws on interviews with 88 women from the College and Personal Life Study to demonstrate the importance of cultural messages about gender in women's understandings of the seriousness of particular hormonal birth control side effects. The final paper uses data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health to examine attitudes about the importance of race in partnership and the likelihood of having a black marital or cohabiting partner among multiracial and monoracial people in the United States.
