Springer Women's Progress: Promises and Problems (Book)

Explore the complex social and cultural experiences of women in this insightful text from Springer. Writing 25 years after the most recent women's movement for equality, this book provides a necessary reexamination of how much progress has truly been made regarding personal choices and work options. Through the lens of researchers, clinicians, and the media, the text examines why many women have been unable to realize their goals. It addresses the reality that the struggle for change in attitudes, behavior, and values has often resulted in feelings of distress, rejection, and disappointment rather than the expected contentment. This work serves as a deep look into the ongoing efforts to broaden the options available to women in modern society. It is a valuable resource for those studying the social impacts of the movement and the psychological effects of the ongoing pursuit of equality.
