The present study was designed to examine two stages in the lives of Generation X women included in a longitudinal national survey. The first stage was adolescence and the second stage was early-to-mid 30s. The respondents' perceptions, as adolescents, about the roles of women in the workplace was examined, along with information about their parents' jobs and education. The association between the adolescents' attitudes about women in the workplace and their parents' education and work patterns were explored. Then, the study examined how the women's perceptions as adolescents and their parents' education and occupations predicted the women's own education and careers.
