Abstract
Abstract There has been a flood of new research on women’s employment and position in society since the 1960s. Within this rich harvest of new information and ideas, it can be difficult to discern any broad pattern or common conclusions. Preference theory is one attempt to structure the evidence into a coherent perspective that makes sense of the diversity of research findings as well as the common themes. The theory is concerned primarily with the conditions of life for women, and the social changes that are creating a new scenario for women in the 21st century. The underlying theme of theories of social change has so far been ‘progress’, but the underlying theme of preference theory is ‘diversity and choice’.
