Notes from the margins: Integrating lesbian experience into the vocational psychology of women

This article integrates literature regarding lesbians and work into a comprehensive framework originally developed to articulate the unique vocational issues of women (Betz & Fitzgerald, 1987), and thereby explores the applicability of this framework to lesbian experience. More specifically, the article explores internal and external barriers to women's career choice, implementation, and adjustment, with speculation about how such barriers function in the vocational experiences of lesbians. The article concludes with implications for theory and research. (C) 1996 Academic Press, Inc.
