Author(s): Ch. Ratna Kumari & Dr. G Saroja
Abstract -Women’s career options are often constrained by the traditional stereotypes that men are thought fit to join the technical and scientific jobs and women are suitable for service-oriented professions like teaching, nursing, and librarianship, though it was felt that this profession would be very right for women in India. Statistics reveal that Women's representation in LIS jobs is less compared to men. This study explores the impediments to the career progression of Women LIS Professionals in the State of Telangana by analysing the data from 292 women LIS professionals working in all types of libraries including Academic, Special, and Public Libraries.
Keywords - Academic, Career Progression, Career Interruptions, Attitudinal Barriers, Demographic analysis.
