Compare Gender Differences at Work by Christine L. Williams, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

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. | Gender Differences at Work by Christine L.
