Cross-Class Families: A Study of Wives' Occupational Superiority

<p>What happens to a marriage when the wife is a professional and the husband is a manual worker? Cross-Class Families examines families that break with the convention of male occupational superiority. Key issues addressed by the families studied include paid work and its relation to family life; the division of household labor, including childcare; responsibility for long-term financial security; and the impact of differences in status, class position, political preference, choice of friends, and attitudes toward trade unions.</p>
