“…This term, which assumes the existence of overarching, general, feminine and masculine roles, has since been discredited and abandoned, because it obscures power differences between men and women, thereby depoliticizing the study of gender (Stacey & Thorne, 1985), and because it fails to recognize situational variation in role enactment (Lopata & Thorne, 1978). However, because so many specific social roles are exclusively (e.g., mother, husband) or largely (many occupations) specific to one sex, and because women's roles have changed considerably in recent decades.…”

“…Aunque uno nace con unas características biológi-cas concretas, es su manera de actuar la que lo sitúa en un género. Para ser considerado hombre o mujer uno debe comportarse como tal (Risman y Davis, 2013). Para los nuevos estructuralistas el género es, sin embargo, un factor neutro, ya que creen demostrar que hombres y mujeres con las mismas oportunidades y limitaciones alcanzan los mismos resultados.…”

RESUMENEn el presente trabajo se analiza la posible transferencia del modelo de maternidad entre madres e hijas y los factores de los que puede depender dicha influencia. Se ha llevado a cabo una investigación cualitativa con mujeres con hijos y sus madres y se confirma, en los casos analizados, la hipótesis de partida de que la influencia es positiva. Sin embargo, ello no significa que siempre la estrategia de la hija siga la misma dirección que la de la madre. Se puede deducir, de los casos analizados, que la dirección que adopte la hija estará determinada por dos factores. El primero sería la contemporaneidad de la estrategia de maternidad seguida por las progenitoras, es decir, lo asumible en términos culturales y sociales que la estrategia seguida por la madre sea para la hija. El segundo factor sería la satisfacción de la vivencia en la infancia de las hijas con la estrategia seguida por sus madres. Para que las hijas sigan una estrategia similar a la de sus madres es necesario que dicha estrategia haya sido satisfactoria para la hija en su infancia y que se considere social y culturalmente acorde al pensamiento del momento. PALABRAS CLAVEMaternidad, conciliación, herencia, satisfacción, contemporaneidad. ABSTRACTIn this paper, it is analysed the possible transfer of motherhood model between mothers and daughters and the factors that may depend on this influence. It has carried out a qualitative research with women with children and their 174

“…In the 1970s and 1980s, analysts continued to critique the socialization approach for portraying gender as a static attribute that is learned early in life and carried forward (Ferree and Hess 1987;Lopata and Thorne 1978;Stacey and Thorne 1985). As with the structural perspective, the doing gender perspective emerged as an effort to address this limitation, but rather than focusing on the effects of structural position, doing gender theorists focused on the effects of situational pressures.…”

Despite progress toward gender equality in several areas, gender inequality persists in the United States and throughout the world, and it persists across multiple institutions: education, employment, family, politics, and law. Despite a vast literature documenting these inequalities, questions remain about how they are created and maintained. Social psychology is uniquely positioned to explain those processes. The discipline includes a rich body of theories, including several multilevel theories, which give analysts the ideal tools for illuminating the production and reproduction of inequality across multiple contexts. I begin this chapter by briefly reviewing evidence of gender inequality, focusing on the United States. I then summarize social psychological theories that can be used to explain this inequality, highlighting the theoretical claims, findings, and limitations central to each account. I conclude with a discussion of the areas that warrant further attention. Gender Inequality in the United StatesAlthough women today receive a larger share of post-secondary degrees than men in the U.S., women are far less likely than men to receive degrees in the typically lucrative areas of science, math, and engineering (SME). The gap is especially pronounced in engineering and computer and information science, where women receive only 18 % of the bachelor degrees in both fields (National Center for Education Statistics 2011). This educational segregation creates similar forms of segregation in the labor market, where women are a minority in most SME sub-fields ( Women also earn less than men. In 2011, women's earnings were 77% of men's among full-time year-round workers ages 15 and over (U. S. Census Bureau 2012), a gap that is only a few percentage points smaller than it was in the mid-1990s when the decline in the gap began to slow substantially (Blau and Kahn 2006; U.S. Census Bureau 2012). Gaps persist within age and educational categories as well. For example, in 2011, women's earnings were 74% of men's among full-time year-round workers 25 and over with a bachelor's degree (U.S. Census Bureau A. Kroska ()
