WOMEN IN THE SCIENTIFIC ELITE feminists. These are denominated as “traditional women”. Those, however, who (3) identify strongly with both women and feminists have been assigned to the group of “dual identifiers”. Those women who (4) have a strong identification with feminists but a low identification with women have been associated with the socalled “distinctive feminist” group.”? This typology overlaps with the gender identity model (GIM) of Becker and Wagner," who have also created four distinctive groups. These are (1) progressive identifiers, (2) traditional identifiers, (3) progressive non-identifiers and (4) traditional non-identifiers.”° The GIM is, however, based on an approach conceptualising gender identity through two completely independent dimensions (traditional and progressive), while the aspects taken into consideration by Van Breen and associates (identification with women and feminists) are not completely separate from each other, but instead are orthogonal components of gender identity, and jointly signify identity components. The model of Becker and Wagner nevertheless defines identification with the cluster of women by its strength on one hand (which can be low or high), and its content (traditional or progressive) on the other.” High gender identification Progressively Traditionally identified identified Progressive 5 > Traditional identity content identity content Progressively non- | Traditionally nonidentified identified Low gender identification Figure 1. Gender Identity Model, Becker- Wagner, 2009: 489 253 Ibidem. 254 Becker and Wagner used the concept elaborated on by Susan Condor in her paper Womanhood as an Aspect of Social Identity: Group Identification and Ideology as a foundation for creating the GIM. The same paper served to create the categories found in this paper as well. The sample Becker and Wagner used consisted of 250 women participating voluntarily in the survey. Their age was between 20 and 65 years (an average age of 42 years). 22% of the participants had a high school diploma, 31% a university degree. 82% of the participants were employees, 47% of which had full-time, 53% part-time jobs. 3% of them were homo- or bisexual. The 2nd sample was similar to the 1st: 222 women participated, their age ranged from 16 to 66 years (26 on average). The 3rd sample consisted of 106 women, ages between 16 and 61 years, average age 27 years. The 2nd and 3rd survey was carried out online (Becker-Wagner: Doing Gender Differently).
