The status of women in elite positions in industry, government, & academia in the US relative to their status in the pool of potential elites is investigated, drawing on census data & government publications on women's share of higher education degrees & representation in 5 potential elite occupational pools. Findings reveal a large degree of consistency between women's proportional elite status & their proportional representation in these elite pools. The timing of movements in women's relative position in elite pools is then used to forecast when women could be expected to increase their attainment of elite positions in US institutions, concluding that it will not be until the early twenty-first century. 5 Tables, 1 Figure, 15 References.

Yet, in other cases constraints related to structural inequalities and entrenched elites have been overcome"--
