520 "In the emotional public debate about women and work,
conventional wisdom holds that middle-class women "choose"
whether or not to work, while working class "need" to
work. Yet, despite the recent economic crisis, national
trends show that middle-class women are more likely to
work than working-class women. In this timely volume,
Sarah Damaske debunks the myth that financial needs
determine women's workforce participation, revealing that
financial resources make it easier for women to remain at
work, not easier to leave it. Departing from mainstream
research, Damaske finds not two (working or not working),
but three main employment patterns: steady, pulled back,
and interrupted. Looking at the differences between women
in these three groups, Damaske discovers that financial
resources made it easier for middle-class women to remain
at work steadily, while working-class women often found
themselves following interrupted work pathways in which
they experienced multiple bouts of unemployment. While
most of the national attention has been focused on women
who leave work, Damaske shows that both middle-class and
working-class women found themselves pulling back from
work, but for vastly different reasons. For the Family?
concludes that the public debate about women's work
remains focused on need because women themselves emphasize
the importance of family needs in their decision-making.
Damaske argues that despite differences in work
experiences, class, race, and familial support, most women
explained their work decisions by pointing to family needs,
connecting work to family rather than an individual
pursuit. In For the Family?, Sarah Damaske at last
provides a far more nuanced and richer picture of women,
work, and class than conventional wisdom offers"--
