One of the first stances that Webster takes is on the gender basis in which many companies are formed. She has seen that when women are present within a company, there is strong segregation between the sexes. Where women are present within a job, there usually is an entire group of women working together, not spaced out within the company. For example, much of the labor force is consisted of women. Generally the men will be in another spot segregated from the women in the managerial places.
Women also tend to group in specific areas of work such as retail, education or health.
Historically women overall tended not to go into fields such as engineering or various other sciences because it was seen as the men's domain. Because women have gone into some of the lower end jobs, there tends to be a dramatic wage and skills gap between the two genders. Another step in the way of women's advancement is the fact that at various times, their maternal instincts are played out within work place. For example some functions of a secretary has been to not only keep the office running smoothly, but to also keep peace within the environment. Webster noted that not only do women play their own job role, but they also function as a mother.
