Changing Patterns of Degree Selection among Women: 1970-78.
Roemer, Robert E.
Research in Higher Education, v18 n4 p435-54 1983
Patterns of degree selection in 1970-71 and 1978-79 are compared with each other and with that of men. The rate at which women's representation in a field changes is judged by an index of rate of change, and the redistribution of women among fields is analyzed. Possible explanations are offered. (MSE)
