Inhaltsangabe

What are the patterns dominating women's lives today? What are the issues which confront women in their relationships, work, and families? First published in 1990, the authors argue that a multi-faceted approach is needed to understand a woman's life, taking in not only her personal psychology but also the social context in which she lives.
