Women volunteering. 1984.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/26630833

This data set contains open-ended, unstructured interviews with 50 women, which comprise the core of a book by Wendy Kaminer, entitled Women Volunteering: The Pleasure, Pain, and Politics of Unpaid Work from 1830 to the Present. The interviews explore the relationship of volunteering, feminism, and family life for women in the 1980's. The participants vary in age, ethnicity, and race. Some of the women volunteer exclusively; some are former full-time volunteers, now in the paid work force; some combine volunteering and paid work. The interviews examine the satisfactions and dissatisfactions that volunteering brings to these women's lives. In the unstructured interviews, the women speak candidly about their personal decisions and motivations to volunteer. The Murray Center holds the interview transcripts for fifty women and brief subject descriptions which include information on the subject's age, race, and ethnicity.
