Dear
Pattie B.,
The
pink collar ghetto is used to
describe the fact that women
repeatedly and historically
have been concentrated into
low wage, underpaid jobs. If
you look at any profession that
is less valuable -- like being
a secretary, or a nurse compared
to being a physician's assistant
or being a bookkeeper compared
to being an accountant -- women
are the majority of those in
these jobs and these jobs pay
which are "male" jobs. The movie
9to5 was actually based on the 9to5
organization of the same name
and if you haven't already you
should reference them. They
operate as a union of sorts
for women workers.
