The Limits of Libe Who Should and Should Not Work
Dorothy Becker, corporate vice-president of Staff Builders, argues there are two sides to the liberation career syndrome. She says women should be permitted to choose homemaker or top job, without stigma, and that some should not return to work under pressure or for self indulgence. Volunteer work can be meaningful, and returning to labor via temporary agencies can help learn and possibly lead to permanent roles. Becker, once a homemaker, rose to VP and notes ongoing gender discrimination but faith in women’s ability to pursue jobs if willing to invest comparable effort.
