ABSTRACT This article examines how the body, clothing and deportment were important elements in women’s negotiation of gendered professional identities, c.1890-1930. To emulate masculine attire or behaviour compromised their gender identity, but to embody traits associated with femininity could undermine their professional authority. Focusing particularly on women doctors and academics, the article argues that by the interwar period some women found it easier to reconcile embodied gender and professional identities, albeit in restricted ways. This was partly because of successes in female professionalisation and the increased visibility of women ‘role models’ which, in turn, influenced the self-shaping of successive generations.

英国的性别、体现和职业认同，C.1890-1930

摘要 本文探讨了 1890 年至 1930 年间，身体、服装和举止如何成为女性在性别职业身份谈判中的重要因素。模仿男性服装或行为会损害他们的性别认同，但体现与女性气质相关的特征可能会削弱他们的职业权威。文章特别关注女医生和学者，认为到两次世界大战期间，一些女性发现更容易协调体现的性别和职业身份，尽管方式受到限制。这部分是因为女性职业化的成功以及女性“榜样”的知名度提高，这反过来又影响了后代的自我塑造。
