妇女以不同的方式适应丈夫职业的要求。在美国，“两人单身职业”是一种特殊的角色组合，妻子被雇用丈夫的机构引导进入一种替代成就的模式。二人职业模式作为一种社会控制机制，使受过高等教育的女性的职业抱负脱轨，沦为由丈夫职业决定的附属角色。这是针对美国常见困境的一种非常美国式的解决方案，即教育机会均等的明确意识形态与职业机会不平等之间的冲突。对两人职业生涯的一些思考表明，有必要做出更加坚定的努力，将女性生活的研究纳入现代社会学和人类学。指出了此类研究将有助于方法和理论发展的某些领域。特别强调妇女接受的教育类型：巴基斯坦、孟加拉国和印度的妇女工作培训被用来指出与美国环境的特殊对比，也表明了高度性别隔离的深闺社会的一些特征。
Women adapt in different ways to the demands of their husbands' occupations. In the United States, the "two-person single career" is a special combination of roles whereby wives are inducted by the institutions employing their husbands into a pattern of vicarious achievement. The two-person career pattern serves as a social control mechanism which derails the occupational aspirations of the highly educated woman into a subsidiary role determined by her husband's career. It is a very American solution to a common American dilemma, in which an explicit ideology of equal opportunity in education conflicts with inequalities in occupational opportunities. Some reflections on the two-person career serve to illustrate the necessity for more determined efforts to include studies of women's lives in modern sociology and anthropology. Some areas are indicated where such studies would contribute to the development of methods and theory. Particular emphasis is placed on the kinds of education women receive: training for women's work in Pakistan, Bangladesh, and India is used to point out particular contrasts with the U.S. setting, indicating also some of the features of highly sex-segregated purdah societies.
