Abstract

dangerous to classify broadly as or men's when neither of these terms signifies a homogenous category. Considering race, class, ethnic, and religious factors leads to the possibility that women share more of their values with men of similar backgrounds than with women of different backgrounds. Where, then, can we locate women's values, and what are they? Difficulties I have with this essay aside, however, Kessler-Harris is reading the positions of women as products of their relationships to both work and the family. It is this kind of synthesis that best picks up on the analytical and political complexities involved in studying changing positions. Scholarship on women is necessarily involved in a political dialogue-and what we cannot avoid hearing and taking note of in the texts discussed here is that freedom from gender inequalities cannot happen at home or at work without happening at both.
