本文企圖由文獻探討中整理出一些有關婦女與工作研究可行的脈絡，建議該學術承傳一些研究的新方向:就是深入婦女所從事工作的內涵，並她們所自視的工作生活素質，並藉此而作一些有關該議題學術研究上的融合與突破。
以所芻議的研究方向與角度為基礎，作者由鉅觀到微觀層面，逐一討論了有關婦女與工作此一議題的相關文獻，其中包括:（一）次級地位文獻(1.性別階層;2.性別職業隔離;3.性別比率;4.歧視);（二）工作內涵的研究(1.職業人工作社會學;2.人類學對男女分工的研究;3.家庭/性別角色/工作);（三）角色理論;及（四）工作對人的影響文獻。並以（五）結論總結。

Abstract ｜
This paper attempts to synthesize research on related issues of women and work, and propose future research orientations. These proposed research orientations includes: (1) to view women as a minority group, (2) to assess women’s status in the larger society by using a micro level of analysis of their quality of work-life, and (3) to accomplish all above by collecting qualitative data. We believe by using micro level analysis of job nature, researchers can strategically tap the subtle aspects of women’s status by collecting data in their perception of work and other related areas of life, such as family and work coordination.
Several major and minor sections are contained in this paper. They are a review of literature on (1) women as a minority group (a. sex stratification; b. sex segregation; c. sex ratio; and d. discrimination); (2) job nature (a. a sociology of work and occupation; b. anthropological study of the division of labor by sex; c. home/work coordination); (3) role theory; (4) the impact of work on women and men; and (5) conclusion.
