Women doctors and lawyers still lag in professions study says Epstein
New York sociologist Dr. Cynthia F. Epstein argues educated women press for admission to professions but prefer domestic roles. Her Columbia University study notes slow gains since 1898, with doctors 6.0 percent in 1910 to 6.8 percent in 1960 and lawyers 10 percent in 1910 to 3.5 percent recently. She cites social factors and self imposed limits as ongoing barriers.
