Data were obtained from four combined years from the General Social Survey, a probability sample that provides repeated cross sections of the U.S. population aged 18 years and older. The results shed light on race differences in women's employment, bivariate race differences in women’s attitudes toward working mothers, race differences in women’s employment in the presence of controls, and the persistence of race differences in women’s attitudes when the same controls were used to predict employment. Although none of the nonwhite groups differed significantly in attitudes from white women following the inclusion of the control variables, the results suggested that remaining differences might persist among lower class and immigrant women. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
