Standing Still in the Workplace: Women in Social Work and Other Female-Dominated Occupations

This article critically examines the condition of women in the workplace from the premise that the equal rights orientation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 has done little to promote the welfare of women workers in female-dominated occupations, including social work, most of whom are mothers. This article investigates alternative strategies such as comparable worth and labor union bargaining. It also discusses raising wages and changes in the structure of the workplace, such as part-time work and "mommy tracks."
