mothers work outside the home. According to Julia Wood, "fully 50% of mothers with preschool children work outside the home";... and 78% of married women with children aged 6-17
work in the paid labor force" (1994, p. NA). The student, in writing a good introduction will want to keep in mind that the opening sentence should be of
