<![CDATA[Due to the demands of simultaneously fulfilling domestic and public roles, working women often face a double burden. The purpose of this study is to examine the experiences of working women who occupy dual roles and the dynamics associated with the division of roles within the family. This research was conducted using qualitative, case study and phenomenological methods. Data were collected through comprehensive interviews with five informants with diverse educational backgrounds, occupations, and family circumstances. The result indicate that all informants experience a double burden. Women working in the public sphere does not necessarily reduce domestic responsibilities, although the division of roles within the family tends to be situational. Families, especially husbands, play a crucial role in maintaining women’s careers, but this support does not fully reflect equal roles. The results suggest that patriarchal social and cultural contructs still influence gender relations within the family. This study demonstrate that working women attempt no negotiate their roles aas agents despite their position within unequal social structure. This study examines this through the perspectives of feminist/gender theory and role exchange theory.]]>
