“…In the mid-1970s, 19% of men employed in elementary education and 8% of men in secondary education were school principals, whereas the comparable proportions of women at each of these levels who were principals was 1% or less (Hanscot and Tyack, 1982). In colleges and universities, the relatively small percentage and lower status of women in the professorial ranks overall has been well-documented (Tidball, 1976;Denmark, 1978;Broschart, 1978;Ekstrom, 1979;Gappa and Uehling, 1979;Hornig, 1980;Ahren and Scott, 1981). As in other traditionally female fields, such as home economics, nursing, and library science, a higher percentage of education professors are women, but men continue to hold the majority of professorial posts.…”

Patterns of doctoral study and subsequent career progress were compared for 756 men and women doctoral graduates in education at a research university from two six-year periods, one before and one after a rapid nation-wide increase in the percentage of women doctorates. Despite advantages relative to men in admission, financial support and full-time study, women doctorates of both periods had achieved less career progress than men but held similarly positive perceptions concerning career impact of the degree. Work experience prior to doctoral study strongly predicted career progress for both genders. Thus, affirmative action may have positively affected the careers of recent women doctorates who were younger and who began study with less established careers than women doctorates prior to 1970.Over the past two decades, dramatic sex role changes have occurred which have social, occupational, and educational implications. Although equal rights advocates remain unsatisfied, and affirmative action has not overcome status and salary differentials between the genders, changing college enrollment patterns demonstrate that women are aspiring to higher levels of education and entering fields of endeavor formerly dominated by men (Randour, Strausberg, and Lipman-Blumen, 1982). One consequence of the increasing number of women seeking advanced education is an expanding body of research focusing on the differences in educational experiences of male and female students during graduate study (Solmon, 1973;Berg and Ferber, 1983).Understandably, in order to assess progress toward assimilation of female students, many such studies have focused on fields in which male students

“…Se ha debatido el rol de la psicología en el sostenimiento de só-lo dos géneros -naturales‖ y su sintonía con los tradicionales pares antitéticos (masculinofemenino, activo-pasivo, razón-emoción, acción-reacción). Asimismo dicha historiografía a la par que ha mostrado aportes desestimados por las historias canónicas, ha elucidado los desarrollos femeninos que cuestionaron los lugares instituidos y no fueron sistematizados dentro de la -galería de autores‖ o -grandes hombres‖ de la psicología escrita siempre en clave masculina (Denmark, 1979;Furumoto, 1987;1992;Garcia Dauder, 2005;2010a;Giménez, 2007;Herrero, 2003;Russo y Denmark, 1987;Scarborough y Furumoto, 1987;Winkler, 2007).…”

La historia de la psicología en clave crítica. Juicios y prejuicios en el análisis de la psicología de la "mujer universitaria" en Argentina a comienzos del siglo XX ResumenLa historiografía de la psicología a nivel internacional ha incorporado en las últimas décadas diversas perspectivas críticas que han cuestionado el uso de la categoría -mujer‖ como dato universal, esencialista y ahistórico. Simultáneamente se ha advertido el papel de la disciplina en la conformación de histórica de los géneros y se ha enfatizado el carácter normativo y normalizador que la misma ha ejercido históricamente como portadora de un discurso sobre las diferencias legitimado científicamente. En el presente trabajo se realizará una reseña de dichos aportes y se ejemplificará dicha perspectiva crítica en un caso particular. Puntualmente se mostrará la relación entre valores de diverso linaje en los desarrollos teóricos sobre la -psicología de la mujer universitaria‖ a comienzos del siglo pasado en Argentina.
