Absentee Girls: A Study of the (Psycho-Social) Cultural Factors as Seen in Sixteen Adolescent Girls Referred to the New York City Bureau of Attendance Case Work Unit, 1958-1964
Abstract
For many centuries, civilizations have struggled with the problem of how to give man the freedom in which knowledge and art can flow. Until fairly recently, man expended most of his time in securing the basic needs for sustenance. Children were prepared to assume the tasks of procreation and parenthood at an early age. By the time they reached adolescence, they were ready for the responsibilities of manhood.Industrialization caused the replacement of man's muscle power by the dynamo the machinery which accomplished in hours what manpower accomplished in days, and which created leisure for some.
