description: A provocative study that introduces the Bose Index, a new scale that measures change in the Duncan prestige rankings when the job applicant is female. This comprehensive volume is the first to offer both a critical review of what is known about the status of jobs held by women and analysis of all aspects of gender as it affects job prestige. The gender of the observer, the actual job holder, and the usual job incumbent are investigated in this volume.
