Presentation

Publicly visible family type is one composed of a male professional-class primary breadwinner and a college-education female who has opted out of a fulltime career to become a homemaker and who often is an active volunteer in community activities. Example, Barbara Jones who opt out her career and volunteered to be a team mom; her husband has a high-powered, high-paying career of his own.
Gendered organization of time it is when people talk how they negotiate the tensions between work, family, and community volunteering work. Example is how Carol Morris spoke of how men’s careers constrain their time, and of how family work constrains women’s time ( volunteering).
