Gender as a Verb

Gender Segregation at Work

Edición de la obra Gender As a Verb

"Greatly contributing to feminist theory in the area of paid employment, this informative and thoughtful volume demonstrates how the meanings attached to gender can form part of the explanation for the persistence of gender segregation at work. The usefulness and novelty of the approach taken is that rather than simply identifying discourses the author demonstrates how discourses work in the creation of gender differences in the workplace. Thus it broadens the topics of occupational segregation to include the impact of gender discourse on employment in order to investigate how segregation is accomplished and reproduced."--Jacket.
