Men in caring occupations

by Simpson, Ruth Professor

"Exploring the experiences of the growing number of men who have entered 'feminine' service and caring occupations, this book examines how men in these contexts both 'do' and 'undo' gender as they manage the potential mismatch between gender and occupational identity. The book highlights some of the complications of managing identity in these contexts as well as the complexities and dynamics of negotiating difference."--Jacket.
