Description: This book offers an overview and synthesis of theory and research into the gendered dimension of organizations, exploring how gender difference is constructed within organizations and intertwined with organizational power relations. Assuming little prior knowledge on the part of the reader, it examines a series of key areas of substantive interest in the study of organizations, bringing to bear a wide range of social and feminist theory in understanding the processes in play.
