“PUBLIC’ WORK AND SOCIAL PARTICIPATION: The Case of Farm Women

Publication ,  Journal Article
Wilson, J
Published in: Sociological Quarterly
January 1, 1990

The impact of labor force participation by women on their social activism is examined using data gathered in a study of 695 North Carolina farm families. The traditional gender division of labor into “instrumental’ (male) and “expressive’ (female) activism breaks down when women take off‐farm jobs. Their rates of activism in instrumental organizations move closer to those of men. Labor force participation by women also reduces the impact of the husband on the wife's activism.
