Abstract
Data on the class mobility of women in modern Britain are analysed following the `conventional', `individual' and `dominance' approaches to the problem of determining women's class location. Results obtained via these three approaches and the different substantive problems to which they lead are examined, and the further issue is considered of how far, in the light of the analyses presented, studies of class mobility that have focused on the experience of men could be regarded as misleading.Keywords
