Abstract Increased female participation has been highlighted as necessary to fill a labor shortage in the construction industry, but also to promote equality and efficiency. Despite initiatives to recruit women, the industry remains one of the most gender-segregated industries in the world. Increased knowledge about gender has been identified as needed to change the status quo. The aim of this study is to contribute with new insights into gender in construction by exploring how women in the industry are discursively represented, and how they talk about their workplace. It is based on analyses of texts from the web. The search engine WebCorpLive was used to retrieve and sort the material to enable linguistic analysis. The study shows that although the overarching message in the material is that there are many opportunities for women in the industry, closer analysis of it shows that women entering the industry are met with gender-biased attitudes, discrimination and unrealistic demands.

Examines whether political empowerment has the same positive consequences for women as for ethnic & racial minorities in terms of political attitudes & participation. Data from the 1992 National Election Study & the Almanac for American Politics, 1990, 1992, & 1994, are used to explore whether women who are represented by women in Congress are more likely to (1) be interested in & participate in politics; (2) have a greater sense of political efficacy, competence, & trust; & (3) evaluate Congress as an institution more favorably than do women represented by men. In general, this is found to be true. Moreover, the findings clearly seem to be a function of empowerment, rather than of other factors that might account for both the election of a woman to Congress & differences in her constituents' attitudes & behavior. 24 References.
