A Developmental Investigation of the Lives of Gifted Women.

Walker, Betty A.; And Others

Gifted Child Quarterly, v36 n4 p201-06 Fall 1992

A questionnaire was administered to 554 intellectually gifted women who attended a highly selective school for gifted females between the 1910s and the 1980s, to explore internal and external factors affecting educational and occupational choices. Differences in personality and attitude factors were found across decades of graduation and between homemakers and career-oriented women. (Author/JDD)
