Exploring the "Present Through the Past": Career and Family Across the Last Century American Economic Review 87,2 (May 1997): 396-399.

Cliometric's development is divided into 3 decades: 1965- 1975, 1975-1985, and 1985-present. The US wing of the discipline is emphasized. The example used for examining the present through the past is a discussion regarding whether women, particularly those who have graduated from 4-year colleges, are able to combine career and family. Even though the educational and employment barriers faced by previous generations of women have been substantially reduced, many college women today are concerned. Using US federal census population data, alumnae and Women's Bureau surveys, and the National Longitudinal Survey of young women, the career and family histories of college women during the past century are pieced together. |
