WMNWKPLC (Percentages are weighted by WEIGHT; Total Ns reported are unweighted) I am going to read you some pairs of statements that will help us understand how you feel about a number of things. As I read each pair, tell me whether the FIRST statement (Society has been improved because women are now represented in the work place) or the SECOND statement (Society made a mistake in encouraging so many women with families to work) comes closer to your own views, even if neither is exactly right.   1) First statement   2) Second statement   3) Neither/Both equally   4) Don't know/Refused
