TY - JOUR PY - 1977// TI - Women's power and authority in the context of war JO - Sex roles A1 - Dobrofsky, Lynne R. SP - 141 EP - 157 VL - 3 IS - 2 N2 - Within their domestic and marginal domains, women have power but no authority. Through their experiences in these domains, women acquire remarkable skills and ingenuity which partially enable them to quickly integrate new occupational skills demanded by the crisis of war. Women's partial socialization into masculine roles, their continual domination by male authority, and their preferred minority status further prepare women to appropriately exercise authority in concert with power in the context of war. The two related areas of women after war and women as warriors are briefly explored.
