TY - JOUR PY - 1951// TI - The woman problem JO - American psychologist, The A1 - Boring, Edwin G. SP - 679 EP - 682 VL - 6 IS - 12 N2 - Women are accorded less recognition than men in the professions and in public life. Furthermore, women do not hold administrative and honorific positions in the American Psychological Association "in proportion to their numbers and qualifications" and especially do they fail of election to "top-level" offices, being frequently chosen for the more laborious job of secretary. Dr. Boring addresses these realities and seeks to answer why it is the case by looking at underlying social dynamics. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved)
