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.
Published in 1997, the aim of this study is to address comparative
perspectives on gender and family life in western and eastern
Europe. The focus is on the way in which family policy measures
relating to the reconciliation of work and family are viewed and
used by employed parents with small children. Another purpose is to
consider how compatibility between family and employment is
perceived by the parents, and its implications for partnership,
gender balance, and parent-child relationships. The book also
discusses the consequences and lessons which can be drawn from
these studies for the purpose of family policy initiatives.

Studia Typologica is the companion series of the journal
Sprachtypologie und Universalienforschung/Language Typology and
Universals (STUF). Studia Typologica publishes scholarly studies of
high quality dedicated to promising new topics in the realm of
general-comparative linguistics. The series especially welcomes
contributions which argue on a solid empirical foundation, have a
cross-linguistic orientation and raise new issues which are
addressed in innovative ways. The series encourages work on
understudied languages and understudied phenomena. Studia
Typologica is also interested in areal-typological studies and
research on the interface of language contact and language
typology. The series is meant as a forum for typologically minded
investigations independent of the school of thought the authors
adhere to. Monographs as well as collections of articles (sharing a
common theme) are published in this series. All manuscripts are
peer-reviewed (double blind). The language of publication is
English.
