Abstract

This paper discusses the role conflict faced by men who are nurses, in the context of a discussion of social science definitions of male-female roles. The implications of one sex entering another sex's traditionally defined role are discussed and possibilities for future redefinition of male-female work roles are considered with respect to the emergence of the Women's Liberation movement.
