Gender, Professional Work, and the Case of Rural Clergy
by
Muriel Mellow
Language: English
Release Date: November 24, 2006
Based on interviews with forty rural Protestant clergy, Mellow argues that male and female clergy challenge gendered definitions of work by focusing on obligation, context, visibility, and time. She also considers how clergy's work is shaped by the rural setting, arguing that we must consider how work is "placed" as well as gendered.
