| Abstract: | Reviews the literature on some selected aspects of women's lives in order to provide an orientation for school psychologists. Both qualitative and empirical literature in the 3 main areas: the meaning of work, the timing of parenthood, and the integration of multiple roles are discussed. The exploration of work and parenting roles has been chosen because they are 2 major foci around which, it is suggested, most adult women organize their lives. The 3rd area, the integration of multiple roles, is also of immediate relevance in light of the increasing number of women who are combining multiple roles.
