Kessler-Harris Questions

1) How did the large number of children working in factories affect the family structure, women's roles at home, and women's roles in the workforce?

2) Is the participation of women in the American military a step toward eradicating the stratification of labor by gender, or is the military merely an extension of this stratification? Do women still occupy mostly "female" positions in the military (i.e., are their positions the most closely related to the "social reproduction of labor")?

3) In the 1950s, many men and women encouraged working women to quit their jobs and claimed that the woman's place was in the home.  It is interesting to me that many women went along with this notion.  Why do you think this is?
