This publication contains the stories of Irish women's working lives, as located in the broader context of their family life experiences, schooling, and aspirations, as well as their entrance into the work force, job descriptions, working conditions, and overall careers. The interconnections between their work and social lives, along with their public and private roles, are explored. What paid work meant to women, in terms of their sense of self, is also considered. Based on 42 interviews.
