Women, Work and Family in Britain and Germany - A Project of the Anglo-German Foundation for the Study of Industrial Society (Hardcover)

Many working women have to face a serious conflict between the demands of their work and the demands of family life. Changing perceptions about the role of women are making this conflict even more complicated. Innovative work patterns are needed to alleviate this conflict. Originally published in 1986, this book, based on extensive original research, examines how working women manage the 'balancing act' between family and work. It considers their attitudes to work, to their families and to their managers and fellow workers and it explores the role of trade unions, employers and the state. By drawing on data gathered in different countries and in different 'styles' of working environment it contrasts differing responses to the same basic conflict.
