This study describes the first generation of Taiwanese working women, and documents their and their families' views of their employment. In doing so it addresses the effects that wage earning has on the status and lives of these women, especially on the parent-daughter relationship. Prior to Kung's work, anthropologists interested in the effects of industrialization on the family structure theorized that as women entered the labor force their standing both inside and outside the family would be raised because of their wage-labor contribution to the family; that is, providing money to the family would be a major factor enabling young women to refuse undesirable marriages, to resist marriage entirely, and to exercize greater authority at home.
