Working Women In America : Split Dreams

Attribution
Sharlene Hesse -Biber, Gregg Lee CarterPublication Details
BookOxford University Press2000Links
Description
Working Women in America: Split Dreams examines the diversity of women’s work experiences from pre-industrial times to the twentieth century. It highlights that women have worked throughout history, and it seeks to dispel the misconception that women’s work is a recent phenomenon. Indeed, the lives of working women are characterized by “split dreams”: most women who work are constantly juggling their work and family dreams. Working Women in America: Split Dreams intersperses first-person accounts throughout the book and provides a number of vignettes of women employed in a variety of occupations.
