Women's Return to School Following the Transition to Motherhood.

Bradburn, Ellen M.; And Others

Social Forces, v73 n4 p1517-51 Jun 1995

Draws on a life course perspective and event history methods to analyze factors affecting women's school reentry following marriage and motherhood. Uses panel data on 313 women born between 1905 and 1933 who were interviewed in 1956 and 1986. School reentry was positively related to higher levels of prior education, nontraditional gender-role orientations, certain life events, and later cohort. (Author/SV)
