听力原文: The woman's liberation movement has become an important social movement throughout much of the world today. In the past few decades, it has become one of the most important social movements in the US. Women have been fighting for equal tights hi the U.S. since early 1900s, but it was really in the 1960s and 70s that women began to gain equal fights and treatment in the fields of politics, education, employment, and the home.
As for tile field of politics, today's politicians are well aware that women have become a powerful political force in the country. One of the reasons for this is that there are about 70 million women of voting age. There are, in fact, 7 million mom women of voting age than there are men of voting age in the U.S. today.
As far as the field of employment is concerned, about 42 percent of the entire American work force today is made up of women; there are 38.8 million women workers. In contrast, back in 1900, only 20 percent of the country's work force was made of women. This seems to indicate that greater numbers of today's women are managing to combine careers outside file home with file traditional roles of wife, mother, and homemaker. Years ago, you see, it wins customary for women to work outside the home only until they got married or until they had children. Nowadays, many women are continuing to work after they marry, and even after they have had children.

Research on the question is sparse and contradictory. Research in the area has pointed to two competing hypotheses, according to Nancy Marshall, participant of Wellesley College's Center for Research on Women. One, the "scarcity hypothesis", presumes people have a limited amount of time and energy and that women with competing demands suffer from overload and inter-role conflict. The other, the "enhancement hypothesis", theorizes that the greater self-esteem and social support people gain from multiple roles outweigh the costs. Marshall's own research supports both notions.
Citing results from two studies she recently conducted, she explained that having children gives working women a mental and emotional boost that childless women lack. But having children also increases work and family strain, indirectly increasing depressive symptoms, she found.
The reason multiple roles can be both positive and negative has to do with traditional gender roles, agreed the experts. Despite women's movement into the paid labor force, they still have primary responsibility for the "second shift" — household work and childcare. The debate about women's multiple roles could be rendered obsolete by changes in societal expectations, many experts in the field believe.
"Individual decisions about work and family take place in a social and cultural context," said Gunn Johansson, PhD, professor of work psychology at the University of Stockholm. "Society sends encouraging or discouraging signals about an individual's choices and about the feasibility of combining work and family."
According to Johansson, these signals come not only in the form. of equal employment opportunity laws, but also in the support society makes available to families. A researcher in her department, for instance, compared the plight of women managers in Sweden and the former West Germany. Although the two societies are quite similar, they differ in one important respect: Sweden offers high-quality child care to almost every family that requests it.
Preliminary results from the study are striking. In Sweden, most of the women managers had at least two children and sometimes more; in Germany, most were single women with no children. "These women were reading the signals from their society," Johansson said. While the German women recognized that they had to forsake family for work, the Swedish women took it as their right to combine the two roles.
The argument of this article is centered around ______.
A.the multiple roles a woman should have in society
B.the two opposing hypothesises about working women
C.the way working women win their self-esteem and social support
D.the overload and inter-role conflict a working woman has to face
