Description

Introduction The history of social work abounds with stories of women who have been dedicated to social change (Kravetz 1976). Today women constitute the majority of practitioners, students and clients. In social work education, our supervisory traditions and practice wisdom can be traced to such women as Mary Richmond, Lucille Austin, Bertha Reynolds, Jessie Taft, Jane Addams, Virginia Robinson, Florence Hollis and Harriett Bartlett. Social work is undeniably a feminised profession. Yet, despite the numerical domination and the educational leadership provided by women, it could be argued that we have been less than successful in advancing the cause of our female members. Men have been more successful in furthering their own careers and work in managerial and administrative positions. Wearing (1996) noted that in Australia whilst women's participation in the labour force is increasing, industry and occupational segregation persists. Women's work is linked to caring work and family life and is concentrated in a small number of industries. This segmentation has a number of consequences for women including differences in earnings, limited promotional opportunities, job insecurity, and an undervalued contribution to the workplace.
