妇女广泛参与家庭以外的有偿劳动和社会最高层,这在世纪前是闻所未闻的。本文记录了这一戏剧性的变化,妇女的社会和经济地位,并认为,这是由同期的需求因素,并由特点,期望和社会规范,关于工作和家庭的不同群体的妇女。历史表明,妇女劳动力经历的变化可能是缓慢的,因为它必须等待新的妇女(以及男子)进入劳动力市场。
The widespread participation of women in paid labor outside of the home and in the highest echelons of society would have been unheard of a century ago. This paper documents this dramatic change in women's social and economic status and argues that it was determined both by contemporaneous demand factors and by the characteristics, expectations, and social norms regarding work and family of different cohorts of women. History suggests that change in women's labor force experiences may be slow because it must await the entry of new cohorts of women (and also of men) into the labor market.
