Criticism of various SES measures is offered in Joan Acker ‘Women and Social Stratification: A Case of Intellectual Sexism,’ American Journal of Sociology 78 (1973), 936–945, and Walter B.

Marie R. Haug and Marvin B. Sussman discuss the importance of using different masures for different purposes (such as social class and social status) in ‘The Indiscriminate State of Social Class Measurement,’ Social Forces 49 (1961), 549–63. In the same way potential for political impact may require a distinct and separate measure.
Family power studies have been reviewed by Constantina Safilios Rothschild, ‘The Study of Family Power Structure: A Review 1960–69,’ Journal of Marriage and the Family 32 (1970), 539–52. In general women seem to have more power when they are income producers and when their income is a substantial portion of the family’s total income. Both circumstances decrease as family income rises. See other issues of the the same journal for further discussion.
