"Hattery's book is an important contribution to this literature.
The book is engaging and is well written. I would recommend this
book and encourage Hattery to continue examination of this
construct." - Psychology of Women Quarterly Women, Work, and
Family: Balancing and Weaving is a fascinating examination of the
extraordinary juggling skills of working mothers who balance their
obligations to both work and family. Angela Hattery goes beyond a
mere description of women's conflicts of interest and seeks to
understand the decision-making process through which they
accomplish this balancing. Through intensive interviews with 30
married women, all with children under 2 years of age, Hattery
uncovers a remarkable range of ways in which these women weave
together the complex strands of their lives. The data in the volume
are examined from a number of theoretical standpoints, including
structural theory, motherhood theory, and feminist theory. A key
variable that runs through the data is economic need, which has an
obvious effect on work patterns. Women, Work, and Family will make
a major contribution to family studies and will illuminate the
difficult choices that women make within the family/work context.
