  • "Women's Work" within Librarianship: Time to Expand the Feminist Agenda. Hildenbrand, Suzanne Cataloging Employment Level Employment Opportunities Females Feminism Library Science Research Needs Salaries Sex Discrimination Work Environment Notes that the literature shows female intensive professions are usually devalued in terms of pay, status, career opportunities, and working conditions.
