Description
Summary:Various circumstances and conditions are responsible for the shift in lifestyles of women today. As women join the labor force, many aspects of their lives are altered due to the increasing demands placed upon them by the work environment and their personal lives. These pressures significantly influence the lifestyles of these women, often creating unreasonable circumstances and challenges for them. Working women today must, out of necessity, accept and meet this challenge of juggling roles as executives, wives, and mothers. As women have adapted to these demands, some of their creative ideas reflect attitudes of perhaps a new generation; yet, the basic values and beliefs of traditional women continue to prevail as women cope with these struggles.
