If you were a woman reading this magazine 40 years ago, the odds were good that your husband provided the money to buy it. That you voted the same way he did. That if you got breast cancer, he might be asked to sign the form authorizing an operation. That your son was heading to college but not your daughter.【F1】
That your boss, if you had a job, could explain that he was paying you less because, after all, you were probably working just for pocket money
.
It’s funny how things change slowly, until the day we realize they’ve changed completely.【F2】
It’s expected that by the end of the year, for the first time in history the majority of workers in the U.S. will be women—largely because the downturn has hit men so hard.
This is an extraordinary change in a single generation, and it is gathering speed. More and more women are the primary breadwinner in their household(almost 40%)or are providing essential income for the family’s bottom line. Their buying power has never been greater—and their choices have seldom been harder.
It is in this context that the Rockefeller Foundation, in collaboration with TIME, conducted a landmark survey of gender issues to assess how individual Americans are reacting.【F3】
The study found that men and women are in broad agreement about what matters most to them, and as the Old Economy dissolves and pressures on working parents grow, they share their fears and frustration.
However, this is not to say there’s nothing left to argue about. More than two-thirds of women still think men resent powerful women, yet women are more likely than men to say female bosses are harder to work for than male ones.
【F4】
Among the most puzzling changes of all is the evidence, tracked by numerous surveys, that as women have gained more freedom, more education and more economic power, they have become less happy.
No tidy theory explains the trend, but there are a few ways to look at it.【F5】
It may be that women have become more honest about what troubles them; Or that they are now free to wrestle with the same pressures and conflicts that once accounted for greater male unhappiness.
Or that modern life in a global economy is simply more stressful for everyone but especially for women, who are working longer hours while playing quarterback at home.
Today’s world is no longer a man’s world, nor is it a woman’s nation. It’s a cooperative, with bylaws under constant negotiation and expectations that profits be equally shared.
【F4】
