In this unique and lively ethnography of women who sell cars

Sociologist Helene M. Lawson and the Oladies on the lotO take readers behind the scenes of one of the last bastions of a predominantly male workplace: the car dealership. Linking the womenOs own stories within the broader framework of gender and occupation, Lawson presents an engaging and important case study on the impact of gender differences and behavior in the workplace.

In doing so, Ladies on the Lot makes an original contribution to the field and will be of interest for a wide variety of courses, including gender and occupations, the sociology of work, the sociology of women, and various courses in womenOs studies and qualitative methods.
