title: Women and career development: a decade of research.
abstract: This chapter reviews the vocational experiences of women as they have been revealed in the literature during the past decade. The review considers primarily empirical literature; findings are sampled relative to women's self-concept development, readiness for vocational choices, actual choices made, work-force entry, experiences at work, and retirement. Suggestions are made regarding the next generation of research on women and career development.
