{"product_id":"equal-partners-jaclyn-s-wong-9780520384569","title":"Equal Partners?: How Dual-Professional Couples Make Career, Relationship, and Family Decisions","description":"Many young professionals seek egalitarian partnerships in which both partners work for pay and share unpaid housework and childcare. Yet working couples' realities often deviate from this ideal, with women trading off employment for family care. Will contemporary young adults repeat this pattern, or will they come closer to achieving equality in work and family? \u003ci\u003eEqual Partners?\u003c\/i\u003e seeks to explore this question. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Drawing on six years of interviews with the partners in twenty-one different-gender couples, Jaclyn S. Wong documents how supportive workplaces, partners' steadfast gender-egalitarian attitudes, and partners' jointly coordinated actions all need to come together for couples to experience gender equality in work and family. This book offers a compelling study of the dynamics of couples in ambitious partnerships who aspire to equality as they navigate the external pressures that come with life planning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jaclyn S.
