- Hertz, Rosanna. _More Equal Than Others: Women and Men in Dual-Career
- Marriages_. University of California Press. 1986. 0-520-05804-6.
- Blurb: "...offers a provocative glimpse of changing marital styles
- among young corporate couples. Frofessor Hertz describes with
- perception and wit the negotiations and ad hoc accommodations
- entailed as dual-career families succumb to the seduction of
- success. This book will surely give pause to those who believe
- that ideological commitments to gender equality will stimulate or
- sustain marriage and childrearing patterns in the post-feminist
- era. Rather, one detects the awesome power of corporations to
- shape the private lives of even the most privileged employees."
-
- Hochschild, Arlie and Anne Machung. _The Second Shift_. Viking Press.

- Lang, Susan S. _Women without Children: The Reasons, the Rewards, the
- Regrets_. Pharos Books. 1991. ISBN 0-89687-532-3.
- Lang examines the issue of childlessness through a series of
- interviews as well as citations from the social science
- literature. She presents various reasons women don't have
- children, then cites the statistics on the financial and personal
- strains on a couple having children, the disproportionate amount
- of work women do for their kids, the freedom childfree living can
- bring, the fact that a majority of mothers are ambivalent about
- motherhood. She tries to debunk stereotypes of childless women as
- selfish, lonlier in their old age, less well off financially, etc.
- While many of the older women she interviewed said they went
- through a difficult period when they realized they would remain
- childless, they all seemed to adapt well and go on to find other
- sources of satisfaction in their lives.

- |Paul, Ellen Frankel. _Equity and Gender: the Comparable Worth
- |Debate_. 1990.
- | Begins by explaining how comparable worth -- or pay equity
- | imposed by law -- is a full frontal assault on the free market by
- | those who scoff at the market's ability to provide justice, and
- | argues that the free market, not the state, is the better ally of
- | feminism.

- quite relevant.

- Stephenson, June. _The Two-Parent Family Is Not The Best_.
- The book is a fairly academic report on a survey of adults who
- were raised in a variety of circumstances: by biological parents,
- single parents and biological/step parents. It evaluates both
- their perceptions of their happiness as children and a more
- objective evaluation of their current status as happy,
- well-adjusted adults. It presents extensive statistical reporting
- and analysis of the results of the survey. Some interesting points:
-
- Children in a two-parent family were more likely to have a parent
- who used alcohol excessively (with implied negative effects) and
- who abused them physically or sexually.
-
- "Negative impact on children's self-esteem was affected by parents
- not spending much time with their children, and greatly affected
- by persistent family discord."
-
- It appears that a child is better off with a single, interested
- parent than with one interested and one disinterested parent.
-
- "There are also indications that children growing up in two parent
- families where the mother does not work outside the home, may
- develop excessive dependency."
-
- "A family with a father and a mother who does not work outside the
- home represents only 8% of the families today."

- 3. Feminism and Psychology.
- ----------------------------
-
- Benhabib, Seyla. "The Generalized and Concrete Other: The
- Kohlberg-Gilligan Controversy and Moral Theory" in Kittay, Eva Feder;
- Meyers, Diana T., _Women and Moral Theory_, Rowman and Littlefield,
- Totowa, NJ, 1987.
- Seyla Benhabib suggests that a functioning ethical system needs to
- recognize both the concrete and the generalized other in order to
- function. She uses the Kohlberg-Gilligan controversy as a
- reference in the discussion.
-
- Cancian, Francesca M. _Love in America: Gender and Self-Development_.
- Cambridge University Press, 1987. ISBN: 0-521-39691-3 (trade paperback).
- Blurb: "In the last 25 years, Americans have gained considerable
- freedom in their personal lives. Relationships are now more
- flexible, and self-development has become a primary goal for both
- men and women. Most scholars have criticized this trend to
- greater freedom, arguing that it undermines family bonds and
- promotes selfishness and extreme independence...she [instead]
- shows that many American couples succeed in combining
- self-development with commitment, and that interdependence, not
- independence, is their ideal. In interdependent relationships,
- love and self-development do not conflict but reinforce each other."
-
- Chodorow, Nancy. _The Reproduction of Mothering_. UC Press, 1978.
- This is a psychoanalytic account of how boys and girls establish
- different gender identities. The work focuses on the consequences
- of the fact that mothering is done by women in our society. This
- is an academic book, which means its by no means easy-going, and
- readers who are unsympathetic to Freudian and object relations
- psychology will dismiss it out of hand. Chodorow's book is really
- the seminal work on "relational" vs. "instrumental" differences in
- wo/men--concepts that are core to later writers like Gilligan,
- etc.

- Publications, London and New York. 1977.

- Riger, Stephanie. "Epistemological Debates, Feminist Voices: Science,
- Social Values, and the Study of Women," in _American Psychologist_,
- June 1992.
- A well-written article: Riger reviews several very important
- issues pertaining to women and social science (experimental
- psychology in particular). She calls for "a new vision of the
- psychological study of women that construes gender as a product of
- social interaction and links women's agency with the shaping power
- of the sociocultural, historical, and political context." Riger
- notes that an extended version of this paper will appear in
- _Psychology of Women: Biological Psychology and Social
- Perspectives_; that paper is "in preparation."

- From blurb: "_Women's Reality_ is one of the few books that is

-
- Steinem, Gloria. _Revolution form Within_.
- This has been panned, and probably misjudged, as a woozy exercise
- in New Age thumb-sucking, but it is more about developing a good
- sense of self. A good thing about this book is that it keeps
- self-esteem firmly in context; she evidently recognizes that it is
- difficult to feel good about oneself if one has nothing of oneself
- to feel good about.
