From Mill Town to Board Room: The Rise of Women's Paid Labor
记录了女性参与家庭外有偿劳动并进入社会高层的历史性变化，认为这一变化由同期需求因素及不同世代女性对工作和家庭的期望与社会规范共同决定，并指出劳动力市场变革可能因需等待新世代进入而缓慢。
The widespread participation of women in paid labor outside of the home and in the highest echelons of society would have been unheard of a century ago. This paper documents this dramatic change in women's social and economic status and argues that it was determined both by contemporaneous demand factors and by the characteristics, expectations, and social norms regarding work and family of different cohorts of women. History suggests that change in women's labor force experiences may be slow because it must await the entry of new cohorts of women (and also of men) into the labor market.
