The Role of Mothers in the Social Placement of Daughters: Marriage or Work?

Bruce, John Allen

Journal of Marriage and the Family, 36, 3, 492-497, Aug 74

Maternal employment and the likelihood that the daughter would be employed significantly reduced courtship launching behavior by mothers. (Author)
