Riassunto

The radical changes in family form and in the role of women in the workplace have had a large impact on the relationship between work and family. Patricia Voydanoff conducts a thorough examination of the intersection of these two most important activities in our lives. She deals with many of the contemporary social and policy issues brought on by these social changes: coping with unemployment, solving child care issues, part time and flexible time work schedules, and parental leaves. She also examines more basic issues such as marital satisfaction, family power, the impact of playing multiple roles, and family coping efforts. The examination is distinctive in skillfully integrating women's issues into work and family issues. Work and Family Life provides an exhaustive synthesis of current knowledge on these issues. It comes complete with review questions and suggested student projects. It is an ideal introduction for courses in work and family, family studies, gender studies, and family economics. ". . . without a doubt the most thorough and exhaustive survey of the topic of work/family that is available anywhere in the literature. There seems to be no issue she fails to explore, and she explores it in all its facets. The organization is logical and sound. Students and professionals alike will find it extremely helpful--I know I did."
