For the generation that grew up during the feminist revolution and the rapid social change of the 1960s and 1970s, it at first seemed achievement enough just to "make it" in a man’s world But coupled with their ambition, today’s women have developed a fierce determination to find new options for being both. parent and professional without sacrificing too much to either role or burning themselves out beyond redemption(拯救).
Women have done all of the accommodating in terms of time, energy, and personal sacrifice that is humanly possible, and still they have not reached true integration in the workplace. For a complicated set of reasons—many beyond their control—they feel conflict between their careers and their children. All but a rare few quickly dispel the myth that superwoman ever existed.
For many women, profession and family are pitted against one another on a high takes collision course. Women’s values are stacked against the traditions of their professions. In the home, men and women struggle to figure out how dual-career marriages should work. Role conflict for women reaches far beyond the fundamental work/family dilemma to encompass a whole constellation of fiercely competing priorities. Women today find themselves in an intense battle with a society that cannot let go of a narrowly defined work ethic that is supported by a family structure that has not existed for decades. The unspoken assumption persists that there is still a woman at home to raise the children and manage the, household. But the economic reality is that most people, whether in two-parent or single-parent families, need to work throughout their adult lives. As a consequence, the majority of today’s mothers are in the labor market.
The first full-fledged(成熟的,羽翼丰满的) generation of women in the professions did not talk about their overbooked agenda or the toll it took on them and their families. They knew that their position in the office was shaky at best. With virtually no choice in the matter, they bought into the traditional notion of success in the workplace—usually attained at the high cost of giving up an involved family life. If they suffered self-doubt or frustration about how hollow professional success felt without complementary rewards from the home, they blamed themselves—either for expecting too much or for doing too little. And they asked themselves questions that held no easy answers: Am I expecting too much? Is it me? Am I alone in this dilemma? Do other women truly have it all?
Until now, this has been a private dilemma, unshared, as each woman was left to forge her own unique solution to merging her dual loyalties to work and family. Too often she felt that she alone had failed to achieve a comfortable balance between the two.
选项
A、want to achieve a balance between her loyalties to work and family
B、are stronger advocates of gender equality than the older generation
C、do not want to sacrifice anything at all for the desired liberation
D、are getting no nearer to achieving their ambition
答案
A
解析
文章第一段第二句中提到hind new options for being both parent and professional(在职业和家庭中重新做出选择,在工作和家庭之间寻求一种平衡)。后文也都是围绕这个展开讨论,文章最后一句提到的 achieve a comfortable balance between the two也与文章开始提到的主题相照应,因此答案为A。
