Abstract
Sociological theory has not adequately represented the complexities of women's temporality. Men and women are, however, known to engage in economic activity on different temporal terms, and the gendering of time is a factor which can be shown to contribute to labour market segmentation. An examination of the problems experienced by well-qualified women in professional occupations shows how the process of segregation operates. Although women in the professions are facing the same issues in Britain and France, comparative analysis suggests that differences in national patterns of employment and time organization remain salient in explaining the temporal strategies they adopt.
