Abstract:
More college graduate women than ever are trying to have careers, families, and marriage equity, and more couples than ever are on an Odyssey trying to navigate between the competing time demands of careers and families. I will summarize parts of a book that tell the story of how these goals emerged during the past century, and how they can be achieved today.
