The two main questions asked are: Firstly, how closely identified with the labour force are the married women in this study?

Six students worked on the group project with a random sample of eighty-two married working women in Montreal, 1955-1956, who were interviewed. The collected data were based on a schedule divided into three areas: the woman's work history, her current situation at home and at work, and finally her motive and attitudes.
