Framing a Domain brings new sociological focus to the work of women realtors. The book provides fascinating insights into why women choose to sell real estate and why they have come to dominate the profession. Based on in-depth interviews with women realtors, carried out through the 1990s, Carol Wharton's work places this white-collar service occupation within the larger context of women's lives. It offers a unique case study of the gendered practices that infuse the workplace, and the ways women negotiate these practices to successfully "weave" work with family obligations. Framing a Domain not only provides an excellent occupational study of residential real estate salespeople but contributes much to our understanding of gender and work in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.
Carol S. Wharton is Associate Professor of Sociology and Women's Studies at the University of Richmond.
