Abstract
Summary Information on 270 women and 270 men was taken from the 1972–1973 edition of Who's Who and compared with data from a 1956–1957 sample, in which occupations were grouped according to value definitions in the Allport-Vernon-Lindzey Study of Values. Although more women are now listed in careers which relate to men's highest ranked values (Theoretical, Economic, and Political), the largest group of women are still in occupations which relate to a value most highly esteemed by women (Aesthetic). The only masculine category in which the ratio of women to men shows a significant increase is Economic. While merely 6% of the eminent men have not married, 38% of the eminent women are unmarried, and those who married have fewer children than the men.
