And what are the causes, limits, and consequences of the "subtle revolution" in women's choices over the 1960's and 1970's? To answer these questions, Kathleen Gerson analyzes the experiences of a carefully selected group of middle-class and working-class women who were young adults in the 1970's. Their informative life histories reveal the emerging social forces in American society that have led today's women to face several difficult choices. 410 0$aCalifornia series on social choice and political economy. 606 $aWomen$zUnited States$xSocial conditions 606 $aMothers$zUnited States$xSocial conditions 606 $aWomen$xEmployment$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aMothers$xEmployment$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aFamily size$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aWomen$zUnited States$xPsychology 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWomen$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aMothers$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aWomen$xEmployment$xHistory. 615 0$aMothers$xEmployment$xHistory. 615 0$aFamily size$xHistory. 615 0$aWomen$xPsychology. 676 $a305.4/0973 700 $aGerson$b Kathleen$01042204 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455503603321 996 $aHard choices$92479456 997 $aUNINA
