Black professional women. 1969.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/26630161

The purpose of this study was to explore the special conditions which enable African-American professional women to create a self-image and achievement value system, the problems attendant to traditional female roles, and the reinforcing components of the work situation. The study was also conducted in order to test the findings of a similar study the researcher did with white women lawyers. In 1969 the researcher interviewed 35 African-American women in the following professions: law, medicine, dentistry, university teaching, journalism, business, and social service administration. Nursing, social work, and teaching at other than the university level were excluded. A structured, open-ended interview was employed. The questions included nature of work, clients, disadvantages of being a woman, disadvantages of being African-American, relationships at work, professional associations, community organizations, education, demographics, family life, income, and dual-career conflict. The Murray Center holds data for 35 women, including interviews, other descriptive materials, and cassette tapes of interviews.
