The purpose of the study is to explore women's experiences and reflections in male-dominated professions. By listening to their stories, the study aims to highlight the challenges and opportunities women may face in these work environments. The goal is to create a better understanding of how gender roles, workplace culture, and social norms at work shape women's professional lives in these fields. The study is based on qualitative research using semi-structured interviews with nine women aged 25–42 who work in male-dominated professions. The theoretical framework includes concepts such as doing gender, undoing gender, and the gender system, which help explain how gender norms influence workplace dynamics. The results show that women encounter both challenges and advantages in their professional roles. They often feel that they must prove their skills and work harder than their male colleagues to gain respect. Many also describe difficulties with workplace cultures characterized by male-dominated norms and behaviors. Despite these challenges, most women enjoy their work and feel motivated by their tasks. They use strategies such as highlighting their achievements and taking on more advanced tasks to gain visibility and respect. Some also believe that their presence adds value to their workplaces by bringing new perspectives and skills.
