Woman's Profession and Female Role--The Development of Sex-specific Structures of Education and of the Labor Market before the First World War.

Klinger, Vera

Zeitschrift fur Padagogik, v35 n4 p515-34 Jul 1989

Examines the intrusion of female employees into the traditionally male domain of office work from 1860 to 1914. Shows that sex-specific segregation was supported by a lack of training facilities for girls and by fact that these facilities supported the dominant sex-role structure. Focuses on the development of vocational schools for girls. (Author/LS)
