| Abstract: | For years, college-educated women were limited mainly to lower-paying, female-dominated professions such as teching and nursing. Over the past several decades, however, there has been a remarkable increase in the percentage of college-educated women in higher-paying, "traditionally male" professional occupations. In 1967, the fraction of college-educated women working in these occupations was less than 20%. By 1997, this number had increased to 40%. |
