Gender Competition and the Preservation of Community in the Allocation of Administrative Positions in Small Rural Towns in Montana: A Research Note.

Jobes, Patrick C.

Rural Sociology, v62 n3 p315-34 Fall 1997

Interviews with 70 administrators in small Montana towns revealed that most civil administrators were women, while most legal and educational administrators were men. Gender and administrative position were related to attitudes toward social problems and effects of migration on community. Rural women may be selected for particular administrative positions for reasons related to community preservation. Contains 49 references. (Author/SV)
