Critical Acclaim
‘The Elgar Encyclopedia on Gender in Management is a revelation, a provocative journey through topics long neglected. Gender theorists have received inadequate recognition even as they have uncovered profound organizational realities. Corporate leaders still deny the gender pay gap, examined in this volume with great precision by Geraldine Healy and Emily Pfefer. Pioneering women like FDR Labor Secretary Frances Perkins, profiled by Kristin Williams, have not been widely appreciated as authors of organizational change. Stephen Linstead and Garance Maréchal describe the global impact of caste and render visible what habituation renders invisible. There are many more exciting entries here, some perfect for summer reading.’
