To investigate the effect upon achievement of women who work in male-dominated professions and thus may feel tokenism, a study examined career outcomes of women who received medical training. Results indicated that women physicians were overrepresented as teachers, and the most powerful position, administrator, was primarily occupied by men. (KH)

From 1969 to 1984 the value women put on status-attainment goals has increased, but the value placed on domestic-nurturant goals has not decreased.

A study of 142 children (Grades K-1) indicated that those whose mothers were currently employed chose a greater number of occupations and more masculine-oriented occupations, than did children of nonemployed mothers. Girls whose mothers had selected nontraditional fields also tended to aspire to less sex-traditional careers. (Author/KH)
