Book Description
This research study examines the challenges 15 women reported in their role as mothers and students. The purpose of the study was to explore the barriers many women encounter regarding role conflict from two or more competing social roles, one of which included being a mother of young child. Using a qualitative approach, this study gathered data from fifteen participants through open-ended interviewing questioning, using a structured interviewing tool. The subjects in this study were female college students attending a graduate program at an accredited university. All participants were mothers of a child who was six years old or younger. The risks and economic and social costs involved in successfully balancing motherhood and graduate level work became evident in the themes that emerged from the narratives provided by the participants. Themes emerged concerning; 1) the motivational factors women feel to pursue higher education, 2) internalized and externalized blame, 3) relationship status, 4) employment and 5) the challenge of having young children. The findings present the conflict between various commitments these women often balance, such as childcare, domestic and academic responsibilities. Suggestions for policy changes are discussed as well as the need to widen accessibility and participation in graduate studies for working-class women who have young children.

Book Description
Working mothers today confront not only conflicting demands on their time and energy but also conflicting ideas about how they are to behave: they must be nurturing and unselfish while engaged in child rearing but competitive and ambitious at work. As more and more women enter the workplace, it would seem reasonable for society to make mothering a simpler and more efficient task. Instead, Sharon Hays points out in this original and provocative book, an ideology of "intensive mothering" has developed that only exacerbates the tensions working mothers face. Drawing on ideas about mothering since the Middle Ages, on contemporary childrearing manuals, and on in-depth interviews with mothers from a range of social classes, Hays traces the evolution of the ideology of intensive mothering--an ideology that holds the individual mother primarily responsible for child rearing and dictates that the process is to be child-centered, expert-guided, emotionally absorbing, labor-intensive, and financially expensive. Hays argues that these ideas about appropriate mothering stem from a fundamental ambivalence about a system based solely on the competitive pursuit of individual interests. In attempting to deal with our deep uneasiness about self-interest, we have imposed unrealistic and unremunerated obligations and commitments on mothering, making it into an opposing force, a primary field on which this cultural ambivalence is played out.
