This exciting book seeks to update and redefine organizational theories of gender and gendered theories of organizations. It demonstrates what is made possible through the application of understanding gender theory to the management of organizations and organizational studies.

Gender in the Organization: Women at Work in 21st Century looks to update management organizational studies with the recent developments in gender theory, including: theories of embodiment, affect, materiality, identity, subjectification, recognition and the intertwining of political, social and the psyche. As well as looking backwards, at existing feminist and gender theory, the book looks forward as it develops an organizational feminist theory for the 21st century. Exploring also what ethics of organizations from a feminist point of view would look like, the book shows what a refreshed feminist organization studies could offer to gender theorists more generally.

This book will be of interest and relevance not only to management and organization theorists, but also more generally to feminist and gender theorists working across the social sciences, arts and humanities. Gender in the Organization: Women at Work in 21st Century will appeal to both postgraduate students and research students as well as to established organization and management theorists.
