A survey of the modern woman for thinking mag Prospect. Interesting, intriguing, and against the grain of most women's studies/neo-feminist speak. A relentlessly "positive" in it's view of women's opportunities in the modern world, it is persuasive and speaks to my own (admittedly not so thought out) views on the subject. Excerpt below:
Cover story: 'Working girls' by Alison Wolf | Prospect Magazine: "Women today are no more homogeneous a group than men, and the service ethic that traditionally supported civil society and public service has weakened. Families remain central to the care of the old and sick, as well as raising the next generation, and yet our economy and society steer ever more educated women away from marriage or childbearing. The repercussions for our futures are enormous, and we should at least recognise this fact."
