Tóm tắt

This article focuses on a group of women attorneys launched on careers that are interrupted for shorter or longer periods by the birth of children. Small samples are used for illustration but studied in depth they provide a micro‐level view of employment patterns that are reported in aggregate statistics or the macro level. This article adds gender to the matrix of employment patterns and professional careers. Voluntary underemployment, negotiated for women attorneys, may be a strategy to cope with high demands and limited structural accommodations to those demands.
