Love and Freedom : Professional Women and the Reshaping of Personal Life

Love and Freedom : Professional Women and the Reshaping of Personal Life

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Can the educated women of the 1990s have both a career and a fulfilling personal life? This book traces the history of women's responses to changes in education, employment, reproductive science and law since the 1890s. Increased work and education opportunities and knowledge of contraception meant choice about when, and indeed whether, to marry and have children. The author utilizes social and government history, autobiography and statistical analysis. This incisive interdisciplinary book will find broad appeal.
