Selfless Women in Capitalism?

Personal identity depends on social roles which some individual exhibits in a society. Personal identity also depends on the accepted and/or imposed value system which reflects itself in everyday behavior toward other individuals. In our analysis there is an obvious conflict between the role women traditionally still take in most of present-day societies as selfless caregivers and the supposed principle of capitalism that is care for oneself and one’s own property. It is an obvious conflict of roles that is especially prominent among women: the traditional role of a businessperson is opposite to the role of a selfless caregiver. From this unfortunate standpoint, “to be a businesswomen or to be a virtuous woman/wife?” seems to be an either-or question which is hard to answer just by a distribution of a “work time” and “private time”.
