Framing a Domain for Work and Family: A Study of Women in Residential Real Estate Sales Work

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Framing a Domain provides fascinating insights into why women choose to sell real estate and why they have come to dominate the profession. Based on in-depth interviews with women realtors, carried out through the 1990s, Carol Wharton's work places this white-collar service occupation within the larger context of women's lives. It offers a unique case study of the gendered practices that infuse the workplace, and the ways women negotiate these practices to successfully weave work with family obligations.
