ABSTRACT
Women in the field of journalism have been handicapped in the past by policies that excluded them from clubs and informal groups, or by having more stringent criteria applied to them than to men. Women are still expected to do things because of love and/or duty. The very thought of paying women for their housekeeping services is horrifying, anathema. Judged on the basis of this criterion, there is a considerable amount of underutilization or malutilization of the talents of women. Although more young women have been entering college and achieving a first professional degree the proportion that have entered the higher level occupations still has not materially expanded since 1930. College-trained women, like constitute only a fraction of those capable of college work. "Young women probably account for about 3 out of 5 of those who have the ability to graduate from college but do not".
