Anomia among Employed Wives and Housewives: An Exploratory Analysis.

Lovell-Troy, Lawrence A.

Journal of Marriage and the Family, v45 n2 p301-10 May 1983

Argues that the housewife role itself, which both housewives and employed wives share, is anomic. Data from the 1974 General Social Survey showed that although women in these categories do not differ on this measure once class is controlled, different variables predict anomia for women in each work-status category.
