Abstract: The aim of this research project is to survey the experience of womanhood and to describe the coping strategies of the female role both in personal life (partnership, parenthood) and in working life. A qualitative research design is applied to a basic population of university students. We are expecting the most important impact of the current social changes in the female role there. Besides that, we concentrate on the transformation of marriage and its importance, value, and function in time, on extramarital relationships, and on divorce from the perspective of adult children. Our further research interest is related to aspects which affect long-term marital satisfaction. The most important publication is the monograph about partner satisfaction of women in academic professions (Očenášková, 2015).
Grant support: the Institutional Development Programme for the support of publication activities at the Philosophical Faculty – IRP_FF_2015. It is planned again.
