Definition
- How much change have four decades of steady growth in women's employment made in the definition of motherhood? It is tempting to say “tremendous change,” particularly if you listen to young women in college describe their aspirations for professional accomplishment, egalitarian marriage, and fulfilling family lives. Even among women for whom employment has been more a matter of necessity than choice, the fact of a paycheck has occasioned a great deal of discussion about what constitutes a fair household division of labor.
