In 1963, the sociologist Viola Klein embarked on a major investigation into the careers of married female graduates in Britain. With the help of local branches of the British Federation of University Women (BFUW), of which she was herself a member, Klein collected written information from around nine hundred respondents concerning past education and training, family size and current and previous employment.1¹ Klein’s aim was to map patterns of paid work over the life-course and to identify the determinants of women’s movements in and out of the labour market, especially as they related to maternity and child-rearing. This was a topical theme. Earlier marriage, smaller families, expanding educational opportunities and the growth of part-time work had made re-entry to the workplace an increasingly common step amongst mothers in their late thirties and forties, a phenomenon which Klein had studied through a comparative lens with her co-author Alva Myrdal in Women’s Two Roles, published to acclaim in 1956. Myrdal and Klein framed this pattern as an emerging feature across all advanced industrial societies, and one which reflected fundamental changes in women’s material aspirations and psychological needs.2²
