Book excerpt: Can a woman and a man, both of whom are career-oriented, successfully achieve a loving and enduring relationship with children and also advance in their careers? Why is it that women more often than men push for dual-career marriages? What personal and societal difficulties and obstacles do they face? What special difficulties do men experience as a result of this phenomenon? Taking us to the frontier of close relationships, where traditional gender roles are being reevaluated in light of what is both functional and optimal for persons in dual-career partnerships, Two Careers / One Family describes the current world of women and men trying to negotiate new realities at home aid at work. It also offers a glimpse of the future and the potential that exists for creative restructuring of our concepts of gender.
