ABSTRACT: Reviews recent literature concerned with beliefs
and values relevant to women's careers. Changes in sex-role
stereotyping, potential problems relating to affirmative
action programs, and the conflict between "counter-culture"
values and values of the women's liberation movement are
discussed. One conclusion from the review is that prior to
the late 1960s (a) the belief that women were less
competent and intelligent than men was commonly held by
both males and females, and (b) this belief may have had
detrimental effects on women's careers. (63 ref) (PsycLIT
