ABSTRACT: This review essay analyzes the present research on
women as managers and executives in business, commerce, and
industry in the United States. The nine sections of the
essay cover the following topics of potential interest to
researchers and businesswomen: the historical contributions
of women to the development of management, the social forces
contributing to change in the situation of female
executives, the current status of women managers, the
training and availability of women for managerial positions,
stereotypes of manager characteristics and the resulting
differential treatment of female managers, the effects of
affirmative action, career development and career
strategies, the profile of the successful woman executive,
and the social and business impact of dual-career
lifestyles. Each section presents and critiques current
knowledge on the topic, explores areas of controversy, and
suggests aspects needing more research or fresh insights.
All citations in the footnotes are listed in abbreviated
form in the Notes following each section. A bibliography
contains complete citations. (YLB)
