About this book: 'Surveying Sisters: Women in a Traditional Male Profession' looks at what it is like to be a female surveyor and how women surveyors fit into the male subculture of the profession. In what ways can women change the surveying profession for the future? Encouraged by the enterprise culture of the 1980s, more and more women are entering the traditional male professionas, such as surveying, accountancy, and law. Surveying Sisters investigates the position of women in surveying education and practice, using an ethnographic research approach, and a strong theoretical base, in order to demonstrate the relationships between gender and class within the surveying subculture, and their implications for the built environment. What it has found is there was a dramatic increase in the number of women entering the surveying profession. Fewer than 5 percent were practising surveyors at publication in 1991, but women were making up 20 percent of surveying students
