Summary

Serious thinking on business and gender has blossomed over the past few decades. What began as a tentative examination of the ways women and men might differ has evolved into a complex and vibrant field of international research and study. Edited by a leading scholar in the field, this new four-volume collection, part of the Major Works Critical Perspectives on Business and Management series, brings together the very best and most influential works on business and gender. Organized thematically, the gathered materials reflect the academic fields of psychology, sociology, management, and organizational studies, and include quantitative studies, qualitative research, and theoretical or conceptual papers.

With a new introduction by the editor to place the collected material in its historical and intellectual context and including a comprehensive index, this collection is a convenient and authoritative reference resource on business and gender for both student and scholar.
