Negotiating Professionalism: The Gendered Social Capital of Flexible Time.

Seron, Carroll; Ferris,Kerry

Work and Occupations: An International Sociological Journal, v22 n1 p22-47 Feb 1995

From a sample of 1,000 New York attorneys, data from 553 men and 129 women suggest that professional autonomy depends on social capital arrangements that assume overtime, open-ended work demands, and release from private obligations. Access to time is qualitatively different for men and women, especially married women with children. (SK)
