AB  - The importance to the personnel profession of the
management of working women is discussed with
reference to the position of women at work in
Britain today, how gender inequalities arose, and
how the position needs to change through this
decade. The issue of child care is addressed, and
women’s stress, coping and health reviewed.
Women’s economic value as producers and
consumers is cast in a European‐wide framework.
An analysis of the effects of their historic position
on Britain’s working women today is made with
particular reference to the powerful influence of
Victorian domestic ideology.
A personnel management policy that accommodates
women’s needs and capacity for exercising
choice is advocated, as a potential mutual benefit
to the woman and her employer.
