This book is a comprehensive look at the results of a study,
done under the auspices of Kent State University, that explored the
attitudes, beliefs, and life orientation of 253 women between the
ages of 25 and 45. Depending upon the amount of employment that the
subjects' mothers had outside the home while the subjects were
growing up, the adult subjects responded to questions of adjustment
to life, overall sense of well-being, emotional stability, and
sense of self-fulfillment. The overwhelming response was that women
whose mothers had worked while they were growing up were more
likely to suffer from depression, to feel less effective as
parents, and to report less satisfaction with their parenting
skills, careers, and life in general. Contrary to perceived notions
of family adjustment to working mothers, day care, and women's
liberation, this study forces us to respond to the warning signals
issued by a generation of the daughters of working mothers. While
Sugar's findings are clear and unambiguous, she provides ample
information for the reader to explore other interpretations of the
data and the cause and possible solutions.
