This study examines the lives of African-American women practicing in non-traditional, white male-dominated professions through an analysis of their life histories. Non-directive interviews were conducted with seventeen African-American women practicing in professions such as law, medicine, corporate management and journalism. The six themes that emerged from the data were: parental promotion of optimism, parental and informant promotion of self-reliance, enjoyment of and emphasis developmentally on reading, support for attending traditional black colleges and universities, positive accommodation of racism and a strong promotion of church affiliation.

The Author: Nancy C. Talley-Ross is an associate professor at the University of Tampa where she teaches courses in nursing science and cross-cultural studies. Her doctorate in applied anthropology and interest in exploring access barriers placed before minority populations guides her research.
