Chronicling the lives and career choices of a dynamic group of
women, this book provides a comprehensive and unique glimpse into
the intricate balance of work and family. Women?s Employment and
Homemaking Careers is based on three surveys, the first conducted
while the women were attending university, and the second and third
conducted one and two decades later. The surveys provide
quantitative data that supplements the qualitative material gained
from final interviews conducted at the end of the 25 year
longitudinal study. The book is based on two comparisons ? the
first examines how women change in the quarter century following
university and the second compares the lifestyle choices of career
women, homemakers, part-time employees and entrepreneurs ? and uses
those comparisons to build in-depth analyses of the pivotal
importance of women?s employment and family decisions. Cherlyn
Granrose interprets her findings using lifespan development,
decision-making and gender role theories, and then outlines lessons
for women, their counselors and employers as well as for other
scholars. Women learn there are many different means by which to
create satisfying family and working lives; employers learn the
importance of positive supervision and flexible family support
policies; and scholars learn the necessity of using multiple
methods and perspectives to understand the complexity of modern
women?s lives.Scholars and students of sociology, psychology,
business and women?s studies will find this volume as informative
as they will find it interesting.
