This study examines an intergenerational mobility matrix of father's occupation by mother's occupation by daughter's occupation by race by age. The findings indicate that both mother's occupation and father's occupation are significant dimensions of women's intergenerational occupational mobility. In cases in which the mother had been employed when the daughter was 15 years of age, the mother's occupation had a more significant effect on the daughter's occupational destination than the father's. The mother's occupation was determined to be a true effect of occupational level rather than an effect primarily of maternal employment outside the home at any occupation.
