During the 1960s, women entered the workforce in increased numbers. Once there, many encountered conflict between their domestic and career situations. In Europe, the movement for sexual equality sought to eliminate division of labor according to gender and remove barriers to women’s horizontal and vertical movement into male domains of work. In the United States, two groups emerged to lead the efforts to deal with limited opportunities and work/home conflicts. One group arose from President Kennedy’s Commission on the Status of Women; the other movement, which grew out of the civil rights movement, was often referred to as “women’s lib” (liberation) (Smith, 1997). The two groups’ methods of operating differed, but their actions had the net effect of bringing opportunities for woman at work to the forefront of public consciousness.
