In my opinion one of the main reasons for a higher divorce rate is the lack of committment needed to work through conflicts.
The main areas where women who work factors into this are: 1) a women who is more independent financially may not put up with as much as a wife who is financially dependent on her spouse, and 2) a wife who works outside the home needs more help from her spouse who may not give what she needs putting more stress on the relationship.
I believe if both spouses are doing their share and communicating, then the relationship should work. In the past many stuck it out in spite of a bad situation. The main difference being level of committment and opportunity.
