By Derks, Scott2005., Grey House Publishing Call No: 305.5 DER Edition: 1st. ed. Availability:1 of 1 At Location(s) Summary Note: By the very nature of their gender, women's working environment is often intertwined with their social environment. A woman's choice of her life work -- much more then a man's -- can result from societal restraints or specific family situations; hence you'll find suppressed women gravitating toward creative outlets and childless women caring for the world's impoverished children. There are women whose work is not about choice, such as a farmer's wife, and the "juggler" balancing her roles as minister's wife, mother of two, teacher and full time student. Then there are women whose career rivals that of any successful man, such as a surgeon, judge, or successful publisher.
