<p>Despite the tradition of women volunteers in hospitals, when serious solutions are proposed to tackle health personnel shortages, volunteers are seldom considered potential candidates. A recent example is the New York City plan to train retired firemen as nurses for understaffed city hospitals, with paid training periods and a special salary scale for the experiment</p>

The study involved 1,871 single, married, and divorced women in New York State during 1967, including volunteers between thirty-five and fifty-four years, in full-time and part-time work as well as homemaking.</p>

<p>Many women choose teaching after marriage because they can be home at 3 p.m. and take the summers off, not because teaching is their real choice.</p>

<p>Women volunteer leaders, even socially prominent ones, are rarely included on foundation funding committees of any scope. For example, of the more than 100 members on the Committee for Economic Development's board of trustees, two are women —one a newspaper publisher, the other a former government representative. Most of these think tanks do not include women known for »service«.</p>

<p>Erik Erikson created a controversy two years ago with this analysis, which is still being debated by women in science. Erik Erikson, »Inner and Outer Space: Reflections on Womanhood« Daedalus 93 (1964): 582-606.</p>

<p>There are few comprehensive analyses of women's motivation or behavior as volunteers, except for agency surveys on performance and satisfaction. One is Jean Beattie Tompkins, »A Study of Women's Voluntary Association Behavior« doctoral diss^ University of Iowa, 1955.</p>
