At the heart of this book is an exploration of how women negotiated their identities as workers and the very real challenges of accessing and remaining in the workplace in a sociocultural context that encouraged home-based marriage and motherhood as primary roles for women. The obstacles women encountered in relation to employment in terms of limited access to education, restricted employment opportunities and profound gender discrimination are revealed. So too are the ways in which women resisted, challenged and negotiated the limited roles prescribed during these decades. --Book Jacket.
