Greenfeld, Sue; And Others
Journal of Vocational Behavior, v17 n3 p291-309 Dec 1980
Women holding male-dominated jobs are more likely to be older and better educated, have fathers with higher educational levels, be childless, and rate success as more important to feelings of well-being. Women in female-dominated jobs rated the importance of their work higher than did women in male-dominated jobs. (Author)
