Competing Devotions
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
As a woman with a family and a busy career, I appreciated this insightful study of the cultures of career dedication and family devotion among professional women. Mary Blair-Loy is a gifted interviewer and has elicited candid and fascinating stories from her respondents. She is a sociologist who provides a sophisticated analysis of her findings. Yet the writing is always clear, readable, and interesting. I thought about these women's stories long after I had turned the last page.
