STATUS!

What if the chasm of political difference in U.S. society was all about status?  What IS status? How is it different from race, gender, class, age, wealth—all those other differences? Cecilia Ridgeway explains.

Cecilia L. Ridgeway is the Lucie Stern Professor of Social Sciences, Emerita, in the Sociology Department at Stanford University.  Her latest book is Status: Why Is It Everywhere? Why Does It Matter?: Why Is It Everywhere? Why Does It Matter?
