Feminist Perspectives in Business Studies delves into the challenges faced by women in entrepreneurship and management positions. Bringing together an array of leading scholars from across the globe, the book uses a feminist lens to examine the structural barriers and societal norms that disadvantage women.

Looking beyond traditional gender norms, the book explores how gender impacts leadership roles across various governance models and countries. Through in-depth research and analysis, the contributions shed light on the disparities in representation and opportunities for women in top-echelon positions. Expert authors engage in theoretical discussion and present empirical evidence, providing valuable insights into women’s leadership experiences in different contexts. The book also proposes strategies to overcome challenges faced by women and foster gender diversity in the upper echelons of business worldwide.

This timely book serves as a fundamental resource for scholars, researchers and students of business and management, feminist studies, corporate governance, entrepreneurship studies, gender studies and strategic management. Business professionals and policymakers will also benefit from the book’s practical and theoretical insights.
