ABSTRACT
Women in Business Until the 1960s the term businesswoman usually denoted a clerical worker, a telephone operator, or a department store saleswoman. Such “ pinkcollar” jobs became reserved for women and were relatively low paying. Only in the last decades of the twentieth century did women achieve some kind of parity of access to corporate and managerial jobs, though the “ GLASS CEILING” and the “ mommy track” prevent a proportionate number from reaching the top.
