Glass Ceilings And 100Hour Couples: What The Optout Phenomenon Can Teach Us About Work And Family,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
When significant numbers of collegeeducated American women began, in the early twentyfirst century, to leave paid work to become stayathome mothers, an emotionally charged national debate erupted. Karine Moe and Dianna Shandy, a professional economist and an anthropologist, respectively, decided to step back from the sometimes overheated rhetoric around the socalled mommy wars. They wondered what really inspired women to opt out, and they wanted to gauge the phenomenons genuine repercussions. Glass Ceilings and 100Hour Couples is the fruit of their investigationa rigorous, accessible, and sympathetic reckoning with this hotbutton issue in contemporary life.Drawing on hundreds of interviews from around the country, original survey research, and national labor force data, Moe and Shandy refocus the discussion of women who opt out from one where they are the object of scrutiny to one where their aspirations and struggles tell us about the far broader swath of American women who continue to juggle paid work and family. Moe and Shandy examine the many pressures that influence a womans decision to resign, reduce, or reorient her career. These include the mismatch between childcare options and workplace demands, the fact that these women married men with demanding careers, the professionalization of stayathome motherhood, and broad failures in public policy. But Moe and Shandy are equally attentive to the resilience of women in the face of life decisions that might otherwise threaten their sense of selfworth. Moe and Shandy find, for instance, that women who have downsized their careers stress the value of social networksof running with a pack of smart women whove also chosen to emphasize motherhood over paid work.
