Gender Differences at Work : Women and Men in Non-traditional Occupations Paperback / softback
by Christine L. Williams
Paperback / softback
Description
Nurses and marines epitomize accepted definitions of femininity and masculinity.
Using ethnographic research and provocative in-depth interviews, Christine Williams argues that our popular stereotypes of individuals in nontraditional occupations - male nurses and female marines for example - are entirely unfounded.
This new perspective helps to account for the stubborn resilience of occupational stratification in the face of affirmative action and other anti-discrimination policies.
