The US effort was met with a wave of criticism and hostility, whose intensity was both interesting and surprising. Yet the research work presented at the US Conference and the substantive discussions that occurred there more than legitimized this issue as an important, and indeed, critical research topic.Women are moving into the US work force as both part-and full-time workers in unprecedented numbers; this trend has been characterized by a major Urban Institute study as the" subtle revolution" in American social life. Currently, 54N of all married American women are engaged in salaried labor outside the home, more than double the post-World War II rate. Just as significantly over one-third of all households in America are headed by women alone. There is indisputable evidence that the overwhelming percentage of women currently in the paid labor force work because they" have to", that is, because they contribute a significant amount of total household income.
