Women's Two Roles

Hardcover. Condición: Fair. THERE ARE NO TARIFFS OR CUSTOMS DUTIES ON BOOKS. The book examines the tension between women's traditional role in the home and their increasing participation in paid work. Drawing on social research, statistics, and comparative studies, Myrdal and Klein analyze how modern industrial societies have created conflicting expectations for women?expecting them to be both full-time caregivers and active members of the workforce.They explore how these dual demands affect women's lives, family structures, and broader society. The authors argue that this conflict is not simply a personal issue but a structural one, shaped by economic systems, social norms, and inadequate public policies. A key part of the book is its forward-looking argument: rather than forcing women to choose between family and career, societies should adapt. The authors advocate for reforms such as childcare support, workplace flexibility, and policies that enable a better balance between domestic responsibilities and employment.
