It is very difficult in Italy." -- The United States: "We can't figure out how to do it all at the same time." -- Politicizing mothers' work-family conflict -- Appendix A: Notes on methods -- Appendix B: Interview schedule. 520 $a The work-family conflict that mothers experience today is a national crisis. Women struggle to balance breadwinning with the bulk of parenting, and social policies aren't helping. Of all Western industrialized countries, the United States ranks dead last for supportive work-family policies. Can American women look to Europe for solutions? Making Motherhood Work draws on interviews that Caitlyn Collins conducted over five years with 135 middle-class working mothers in Sweden, Germany, Italy, and the United States. She explores how women navigate work and family given the different policy supports available in each country. Taking readers into women's homes, neighborhoods, and workplaces, Collins shows that mothers' expectations depend on context and that policies alone cannot solve women's struggles. With women held to unrealistic standards, the best solutions demand that we redefine motherhood, work, and family. 650 0 $a Working mothers. 650 0 $a Working mothers $v Cross-cultural studies. 650 6 $a MeÌres au travail. 650 6 $a MeÌres au travail $v EÌtudes transculturelles. 650 7 $a Working mothers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180647 655 7 $a Cross-cultural studies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423769 941 $a 1 952 $l OUAX845 $d 20240816051620.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F055DC045B9611EFABE9BE7952ECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IOTInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
