About this title

From Library Journal:

In studying dual-career couples in the corporate world, Hertz (Sociology, Wellesley) examines several important questions. What does the relative economic equality of these couples mean to their individual and shared lives? Has success in the work world fundamentally changed the nature of marriage and the family? Is the dependence on an outside, usually low-wage pool of labor for household and child care really progress toward economic equality? This well-written, thoughtful study of marriage as the third career should receive considerable attention from the growing number of working couples in the population. Recommended. Hilma F. Cooper, Cheltenham Twp. Libs., Pa.
