| | Nancy Rubin Stuart - The New Suburban Woman: Beyond Myth and Motherhood (1982) |
 | | Moreover, whether single, married or divorced, more than half of suburban women are working outside the home, their young children placed in day care, tended by baby sitters or involved in after-school programs. |
 | | As a result, the old tradition of suburban coffee klatches, of women volunteering for local charities, of those who proudly sign " housewife" on their tax forms have all but disappeared, as women have remained in the workforce -- and often, in surburbia's expanding businesss communities, rather than in the nearby cities. |
 | | The New Suburban Woman is a jounalistic snapshot of the American dream as it has evolved from a tranquil domestic retreat on the edge of the city into our preferred location for work, play and raising youth today. |
