Who’s (really) in charge? Mothers and executive responsibility in ‘non-traditional’ families
While fathers are becoming increasingly involved in the day-to-day work of caring for their children, mothers have tended to retain overall responsibility for children and family life – even when they are in full-time employment and delegate much of the daily care of children to others. Less is known about the sharing of this executive responsibility in cases where fathers are alternate caregivers, or where fathers’ share of caregiving equals or …

Men, Paid Employment and Family Responsibilities: Conceptualizing the ‘Working Father’
Congratulation Messages From Academics
No Longer “One of the Boys”: Negotiations with Motherhood, as Prospect or Reality, among Women in Engineering
La maternité est généralement considérée comme constituant un tournant dans la carrière des femmes professionnelles, particulièrement chez celles qui occupent des emplois à prédominance masculine. S'inspirant de la documentation dans le domaine des femmes et du travail non traditionnel, l'auteure de cet article tente d'expliquer la signification critique de la maternité, antieipée ou réelle, pour les femmes travaillant dans le domaine de l'ingéni…
Beyond ‘Gender Differences’: A Canadian Study of Women's and Men's Careers in Engineering
This article explores the relationship between gender and career paths for a group of women and men who graduated as engineers during a period of labour market turbulence in western Canada during the 1980s. Using a model adapted from Brown (1982 ), the article uses ‘career path’ as a device to organize data drawn primarily from telephone and face‐to‐face interviews with 317 graduates. Three career paths provide the focus for the study: the ‘organ…
Men at Work: Change—or No Change?—in the Era of the “New Father
Studies of cultural images of fatherhood suggest the emergence of a new 'involved' father to replace the breadwinner whose family responsibilities are discharged at work rather than at home. Yet, much of the research on fatherhood pays little attention to the implications of involved fatherhood for the way men organize their working lives. This article addresses this gap by exploring, with a theoretically strategic group of middle-class professio…
Playing by the Rules of the Game: Women's Experiences and Perceptions of Sexual Harassment in Sport
Cet article explore les expériences et les perceptions ltées au harcè‐lement sexuel, qui sévit parmi les athlètes féminines entraînées par des hommes, au sein de l'élite sportive, haut lieu du règne masculin. À partir des témoignages de 32 athlètes féminines, l'article se concentre sur les interprétations que font les femmes des compor‐tements dont elles sont les victimes, et situe leurs expériences dans le contexte plus large de la discriminatio…
Education, Work and Family Decision Making: Finding the “Right Time” to Have a Baby
Cet article étudie les liens entre les choix d'études et de carrière, et la décision d'avoir des enfants chez un échantillon de femmes ayant un diplôme universitaire. La recherche présentée ici tente d'inter‐préter les résultats tirés d'une étude longitudinale sur les diplô‐mées des universités de l'Alberta et du recensement de 1991, selon lesquels les femmes qui travaillent dans les secteurs traditionnels tels que l'éducation et les sciences inf…
Engendering Motherhood: Identity and Self-Transformation in Women's Lives
Gender, Earnings, and Proportions of Women: Lessons from a High-Tech Occupation
This article examines gender discrimination in earnings and promotions in a sample of 451 computer professionals employed by 14 organizations in a western Canadian city. The data suggest that women computer professionals do less well than their male counterparts in terms of income and job status; the differences are largely attributable to differences in work experience. Strength apparently does not lie in numbers, however. Organizations that hir…
