	Historians of women's labor in the United States at first largely disregarded the story of female service workers-women earning wages in occupations such as salesclerk, domestic servant, and office secretary. These historians focused instead on factory work, primarily because it seemed so different from traditional, unpaid women's work in the home, and because the underlying economic forces of industrialism were presumed to be gender-blind and hence emancipator in effect. Unfortunately, emancipation has been less profound than expected, for not even industrial wage labor has escaped continued sex segregation in the workplace.To explain this [hl:5]unfinished revolution[/hl:5] in the status of women, historians have recently begun to emphasize the way a prevailing definition of femininity often determines the kinds of work allocated to women, even when such allocation is inappropriate to new conditions. For instance, early textile-mill entrepreneurs, in justifying women's employment in wage labor, made much of the assumption that women were by nature skillful at detailed tasks and patient in carrying out repetitive chores; the mill owners thus imported into the new industrial order hoary stereotypes associated with the homemaking activities they presumed to have been the purview of women. Because women accepted the more unattractive new industrial tasks more readily than did men, such jobs came to be regarded as female jobs. And employers, who assumed that women's "real" aspirations were for marriage and family lire, declined to pay women wages commensurate with those of men. Thus many lower-skilled, lower-paid, less secure jobs came to be perceived as "female".More remarkable than the original has been the persistence of such sex segregation in twentieth-century industry. Once an occupation came to be perceived as "female", employers showed surprisingly little interest in changing that perception, even when higher profits beckoned. And despite the urgent need of the United. States during the Second World War to mobilize its human resources fully, job segregation by sex characterized even the most important war industries. Moreover, once the war ended, employers quickly returned to men most of the "male" jobs that women had been permitted to master.
	Conventional wisdom has it that large deficits in the United States budget cause interest rates to rise. Two main arguments are given for this claim. According to the first, as the deficit increases, the government will borrow more to make up for the ensuing shortage of funds. Consequently, it is argued, if both the total supply of credit (money available for borrowing) and the amount of credit sought by nongovernment borrowers remain relatively stable, as is often supposed, then the price of credit (the interest rate) will increase. That this is so is suggested by the basic economic principle that if supplies of a commodity (here, credit) remain fixed and demand for that commodity increases, its price will also increase. The second argument supposes that the government will tend to finance its deficits by increasing the money supply with insufficient regard for whether there is enough room for economic growth to enable such an increase to occur without causing inflation. It is then argued that financiers will expect the deficit to cause inflation and will raise interest rates, anticipating that because of inflation the money they lend will be worth less when paid back.Unfortunately for the first argument, it is unreasonable to assume that nongovernment borrowing and the supply of credit will remain relatively stable. Nongovernment borrowing sometimes decreases. When it does, increased government borrowing will not necessarily push up the total demand for credit. Alternatively, when credit availability increases, for example through greater foreign lending to the United States, then interest rates need not rise, even if both private and government borrowing increase.The second argument is also problematic. Financing the deficit by increasing the money supply should cause inflation only when there is not enough room for economic growth. Currently, there is no reason to expect deficits to cause inflation. However, since many financiers believe that deficits ordinarily create inflation, then [hl:4]admittedly[/hl:4] they will be inclined to raise interest rates to offset mistakenly anticipated inflation. This effect, however, is due to ignorance, not to the deficit itself, and could be lessened by educating financiers on this issue.

	Joseph Glarthaar's Forged in Battle is not the first excellent study of Black soldiers and their White officers in theCivil War, but it uses more soldiers' letters and diaries - including rare material from Black soldiers - and concenrates more intensely on Black-White relations in Black regiments than do any of its predecessors. Glathaar's title expresses his thesis: loyalty, friendship, and respect among White officers and Black soldiers were fostered by the mutual dangers they faced in combat.Glarthaar accurately describes the government's discriminatory treatment of Black soldiers in pay, promotion, medical care, and job assignments, appropriately emphasizing the campaign by Black soldiers and their officers to get the opportunity to fight. That chance remained limited throughout the war by army policies that kept most Black units serving in rear-echelon assignments and working in labor battalions. Thus, while their combat death rate was only one-third that of White units, their mortality rate from disease, a major killer in his war, was twice as great. Despite these obstacles, the courage and effectiveness of several Black units in combat won increasing respect frominitially skeptical or hostile White soldiers. As one White officer put it, "[hl:6]they have fought their way into the respect of all the army.[/hl:6]"In trying to demonstrate the magnitude of this attitudinal change, however, [hl:7]Glarthaar seems to exaggerate the pre-war racism of the White men who became officers in Black regiments.[/hl:7] "Prior to the war," he writes of these men, "virtually all of them held powerful racial prejudices." While perhaps true of those officers who joined Black units for promotion or other self-serving motives, this statement misrepresents the attitudes of the many abolitionists who became officers in Black regiments. Having spent years fighting against the race prejudice endemic in American society; they participated eagerly in this military experiment, which they hoped would help African Americans achieve freedom and post-war civil equality. By current standards of racial egalitarianism, these men's paternalism toward African Americans was racist. But to call their feelings "powerful racial prejudices" is to indulge in [hl:8]generational chauvinism[/hl:8] - to judge past eras by present standards.
Ready4	In the rectangular coordinate system above, point Q (not shown) is the same distance from the line y = x as point P, and it is the same distance from the y axis as point P is from the x axis. Point R (not shown) lies at both the same distance from the x axis and the same distance from the y axis as point Q, but is in a different location. If the coordinates of point P are (4, 2), which of the following are possible coordinates of point R?
Ready4	Felicia Durkhart's assertion that women in ancient Rome “enjoyed relatively equal standing” with ancient Roman men has served as a rallying point for feminist scholars eager to demonstrate that misconceptions about gender in history abound. For instance, Darla Moore's seminal 1981 essay “The Women Who Nurtured an Empire” showed that the ancient Romans might have recognized the necessity of women to the empire's continuance, but habitually treated them with contempt and abuse. More recently, however, feminist scholars have recognized that neither Durkhart's glib assessment of women's situation nor Moore's dour one adequately describes the dynamics of power and gender in ancient Rome. Several recent studies by these scholars give special attention to the ways in which women's rights and status changed over time, injecting much-needed nuance into the discussion. The criticism that Durkhart and Moore oversimplify matters is also leveraged against those works that examine women's status with little or no attempt to take into account the quality of evidence available. Since details of the lives of often-oppressed populations are notoriously difficult for historians to ascertain, any description of women's lives in ancient times should be tempered by some acknowledgment that what evidence does exist can only offer limited perspectives. John Evans, among others, attempts to remedy these errors by contextualizing each source used in its immediate setting, as well as describing the larger social and historical forces, from household traditions to wartime conventions and symbols, that his interpretations take into account. Evans is therefore able to integrate studies that have previously been siloed due to the methods and concerns of the subjects' usual scholars and allows the insights of feminist studies and political analysis to be brought to bear on one another, and moreover focuses on the changes to household dynamics and economies over years of war and imperial expansion. Evans does acknowledge that upper-class women's fortunes did, at least, improve as the empire enriched itself, but concludes that the average woman likely faced increasing economic uncertainty and violence in times of war, demonstrating that men's decisions in remote centers of power affected more than just their immediate subordinates.
