Anita Garey passed away on September 24, 2014
As a second-generation immigrant and the first person in my family to go to college, I entered the doctoral program in Sociology in 1981 with very little idea of what graduate school was all about. My interests in the sociology of motherhood and in work/family issues were encouraged and furthered by working with Arlie Hochschild and Nancy Chodorow, and in 1991 I taught a senior seminar on the sociology of motherhood, a topic I still teach.
