Women in Elite Pools and Elite Positions.

Ward, Patricia A.; And Others

Social Science Quarterly, v73 n1 p31-45 Mar 1992

Uses characteristic education, occupation, and job experience credentials of current elites in U.S. institutions to approximate the proportion of women in the pool of potential elites. Includes breakdowns for law, Ph.D. programs, managers, accountants, and M.B.A.s. Concludes that women's representation in elite positions is consistent with their representation in these pools. (DK)
