Time Off as Economic Capital: Thwarting the Traps of the Segregated Occupational Field
Moving from a gender-segregated job, like secretary, to a more integrated position can be quite difficult, primarily because the disadvantages that most segregated jobs confer accumulate over time to make it increasingly unlikely that a woman who is unhappy in her job will ever be able to find another kind of work. What scholars of cumulative disadvantage have not been able to explain, however, are the women who successfully leave segregated jobs…
Secretarial Work, Nurturing, and the Ethic of Service
Women who enjoy nurturing and serving others are often assumed to either be fulfilling their "natural" calling or to be stuck in an outdated and limiting gender role. Both interpretations ignore the social aspects of these activities. In this study, based on my interviews with 49 secretaries, I first highlight a small group of women who enjoy donning the characteristics of motherhood at their jobs. I analyze their approach to work not as an examp…

I Would Never Be a Secretary: Reinforcing Gender in Segregated and Integrated Occupations
Gender affects us, but we also affect gender. This study reveals some of the ways women in two types of occupations-furniture sales and secretarial-shape the system of gender.

Employment Chances in the Academic Job Market in Sociology: Do Race and Gender Matter
Do employment chances for academics differ based on the gender or race/ethnicity of the job seeker? We use data from a sample of positions in sociology filled during the 1991-92 school year to determine whether European-American women, minority women, and minority men are advantaged, disadvantaged, or similarly placed in relation to European-American men. We find no evidence suggesting that European-American men are significantly disadvantaged, o…
That Single-Mother Element: How White Employers Typify Black Women
Many employers assess their workforces with gendered and racialized imagery that can put groups of workers and applicants at a disadvantage in the labor market. Based on 78 interviews with white employers in Atlanta, the author reveals that some employers use a complex but widely shared stereo-type of Black working-class women as single mothers to typify members of this group. These employers use this single-mother image to explain why they think…
