Essential characteristics of Women's decision-making have long been
ignored or, if considered at all, have been viewed in relationship
to male-based factors. Veeder, drawing on experiences of Irish
women, establishes that women making important choices do so
differently than men. The women, ranging in age from as young as
thirteen to over sixty-five, were divided into three age groupings,
thereby offering insights into variables over much of the
life-span. Themes, born from common experiences emerge from the
poignant, compelling accounts of individual women. The author's
analysis and commentary structure the book's development and
maintain its focus on the context wherein women make their private,
but immensely important, decisions--the family. Education,
vocation, marriage, and childbearing are considered relative to the
thought and emotional factors that influenced the women's
decisions. Veeder concludes that women show strength and insight in
their approach to choices. She sees women, in comparison with men,
as taking more factors into consideration, being more aware of
consequences, being more practical, flexible, and valuing of
relationships. Women's participation in the workforce and their
increased societal roles make this a most timely book. It is, too,
an important contribution to, and stimulus for, additional research
on gender and decision-making.
