Book Description:

One of the UK's most contentious sociologists presents a new theory for explaining current and future patterns of women's choices between employment and family work. Preference theory constitutes a major break from male-centred theorizing in sociology and economics in the 20th century. Extensive examples from the USA and Britain illustrate how current social and economic changes are altering women's work-lifestyle choices.
