Abstract:

Despite major changes over the past thirty years, one dimension of women’s lives that remains complex and problematic is that of balancing domestic and professional roles. This paper will look at examples from women’s everyday conversations to explore the themes that emerge in relation to socialized gender roles. The analysis of the data suggests that the social identity of the ‘good mother’ is a common theme within the discourse practices of the women who took part in this study. Facets of this social role are often raised within the women’s interactions and the data examined here suggests that, for working mothers, balancing the increasingly demanding roles of both their domestic and professional lives creates a dialectical tension that results in feelings of guilt.

1 The social marketplace and gender identity Goffman (1959) has suggested that individuals can be viewed as actors who perform and sustain social roles that are validated by their interactional partners. Just as actors need to convince an audience of their sincerity so the social actor must successfully manage the discursive ‘impression’ she/he presents within their everyday interations. Goffman suggests that social actors have a moral value invested in their ‘performance’ of self that allows them to accumulate symbolic
