The issue of women and work is a contemporary one which affects the private as well as the public sphere of women's lives. The social conditions which affect the present cohort of retired older women, have their roots in their work lives. In this article, we analyzed the oral histories of 7 retired women using a modified grounded theory approach to explore the long-term effects of having interrupted their work histories in order to care for family members. The core variable that emerged was the "valuing process" that occurred when these older women relieved their past experiences. We defined this as the relative merit that each participant attributed to her lifetime work achievements.
女性与工作的问题是一个当代议题，它影响着女性生活的私人领域和公共领域。影响当前这一代退休老年女性的社会状况，其根源在于她们的工作经历。在本文中，我们采用一种改良的扎根理论方法，分析了7位退休女性的口述历史，以探究她们为照顾家庭成员而中断工作经历所产生的长期影响。出现的核心变量是这些老年女性回忆过往经历时发生的“价值评估过程”。我们将其定义为每位参与者赋予其一生工作成就的相对价值。
