Sharpe & Wilkinson

• Wilkinson

  There has been a 'genderquake' where women are more assertive and capable of providing for themselves within the family.
• Wilkinson

  There is a change in the roles and attitudes of women where they want to be able to provide more and work rather than it just being the males.
• Sharpe

  women are becoming more ambitious.

  Sharpe did a study from 1976-94. She interviewed women and found that women shifted their priorities from joining /creating families and getting married to valuing their careers more to be able to provide for themselves and go to work.
