It discusses how the daughters felt about growing up with a mother working full-time; the idea that there is a backlash from daughters against wanting to work long hours, while there is little justification for any damaging effects; how mothers in high-status career roles are the primary influence on daughters' career expectations; how young women are as ambitious for career success as men in the early stages of their career and why this changes; the aims and aspirations of the daughters in terms of combining work with motherhood; the influence mothers and grandmothers have on daughters’ views about combining work with motherhood; the role played by partners and fathers in influencing positive and negative feelings mothers have about combining work with motherhood; and the intersection between the accounts of the relationship between mothers and daughters with the social changes in the expansion of opportunities for women.
