Sex, Career and Family

Informationen zum Autor Michael P. Fogarty, Rhona Rapoport, Robert N. Rapoport Zusammenfassung In this book, first published in 1971, the authors show from first-hand studies of family and working life (and with evidence from many countries, including the socialist societies of Eastern Europe) the nature of the discrimination facing women in the professions – and how various family and employment patterns might contribute to solving it. Their point is not that some new stereotype should be substituted for traditional views of the role of husbands and wives: different patterns fit different situations. Inhaltsverzeichnis Part 1.
