摘要：In this article, the author describes sweeping changes in the gender system and offers explanations for why change has been uneven. Because the devaluation of activities done by women has changed little, women have had strong incentive to enter male jobs, but men have had little incentive to take on female activities or jobs. The gender egalitarianism that gained traction was the notion that women should have access to upward mobility and to all areas of schooling and jobs. But persistent gender essentialism means that most people follow gender -typical paths except when upward mobility is impossible otherwi se. Middle -class women entered managerial and professional jobs more than working -class women inte grated blue -collar jobs because the latter were able to move up while choosing a “female“ occupation; many mothers of middle -class women were al_x005f?ready in the highest -status female occupations. The author also notes a number of gender -egalitarian trends that have stalled.
