Token Women: An Empirical Test of Kanter's Hypothesis

Spangler, Eve; And Others

American Journal of Sociology, 84, 1, 160-70, Jul 78

This study compared female students in a male-dominated law school with female students in a law school where the percentage of women was higher in order to test the hypothesis that the minority-to-minority ratio is a significant determinant of minority member achievement. Results were found to support the hypothesis. (Author/BC)
