This paper examines the relationship of the marital status of Australian women to relative occupational success and to postsecondary education. As predicted, occupational success is associated with single status, but the relationship is not statistically significant. The relationship between education and single status, however, is significant. These results are similar to results obtained in U.S. studies. While acknowledging that marriage impedes career advancement, results in this study also support explanations suggesting that single status may result friom educational success rather than vice versa
