Abstract
In Women''s Quest for Economic Equality, Victor R. Fuchs argues that women''s continued economic inequality is a reflection of the conflict they experience between family and work. He is encouraged by the number of women investing in their careers, but alarmed by the country''s low birthrate and the number of children whose futures are at risk. In the Second Shift, Arlie Hochschild finds that women do most of the "second shift" work of caring for children and home. She looks at how and why and suggests ways to improve hours at home for everyone. Both authors support public policies to help children and working families. They challenge readers to examine some prevailing norms.
