Angela Hattery goes beyond a mere description of women′s conflicts of interest and seeks to understand the decision-making process through which they accomplish this balancing. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThrough intensive interviews with 30 married women, all with children under 2 years of age, Hattery uncovers a remarkable range of ways in which these women weave together the complex strands of their lives. The data in the volume are examined from a number of theoretical standpoints, including structural theory, motherhood theory, and feminist theory. A key variable that runs through the data is economic need, which has an obvious effect on work patterns. \u003cb\u003eWomen, Work, and Family\u003c\/b\u003e will make a major contribution to family studies and will illuminate the difficult choices that women make within the family\/work context. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SAGE Publications Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54246665224536,"sku":"9780761919360","price":182.28,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780761919360.jpg?v=1777785320","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/women-work-and-families","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
