Women's Ambivalent Affair with Power.
Abbott, Linda M. C.
Proteus, v3 n2 p22-27 Fall 1986
Conceptually defining power and identifying the personal traits required for its exercise, this article provides a review of recent research on the sex-role socialization and personality characteristics of United States women. Concludes that as women gain more political power, issues such as sex discrimination, reproductive control, and child care could become national, rather than women's issues. (JDH)
