SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
The employment of women, particularly mothers, is now accepted as a 'fact of modern life'. This book examines the origins and background of this radical shift in the gendered division of labour and relates it to contemporary changes in both employment and family life with which it is inter-twined.
