This article suggests and examines the role that education can play in preparing women workers to effect change both at the workplace and in society. It focuses on two programs developed by Cornell University's Institute for Women and Work, an arm of the New York State School of Industrial and Labor Relations. One route points to ways education can be a force for enabling women to increase their decision-making roles on a trade union level.

Although racial segregation within Southern urban areas has been much studied, little attention has been devoted to Southern communities' socioeconomic segregation prop erties. This article employs a residential differentiation index to examine this phenom enon. Findings suggest that socioeconomic segregation within the South approximates levels observed in national samples and is not attributable to racial segregation of blacks and whites of dissimilar attainment. Moreover, blacks and whites display equal levels of socioeconomic segregation. Finally, community socioeconomic segregation levels are related to selected attributes of Southern communities, including the configuration of ethnic and socioeconomic status groups present.
