There is [nothing in] the intrinsic nature of the work

There is nothing in the intrinsic nature of the work that makes it more suitable for women.

I think the kinds of verbs or adjectives related to quantity take the preposition "in" to present quantity of something.
So, I'd like to know here if the preposition "in" is used due to, if noun, "nothing" related to quantity.

I'd like to know why "in" is used in the original.

If we remove the adjective "intrinsic", we end up with:

"There is nothing in the nature of the work... etc."

Is it clear now?
