At a time when some corporate women leaders are advocating for
their aspiring sisters to 'lean in' for a bigger piece of the
existing pie, this book puts the spotlight on the deep structures
of organizational culture that hold gender inequality in place.
Gender at Work: Theory and Practice for 21st Century Organizations
makes a compelling case that transforming the unspoken, informal
institutional norms that perpetuate gender inequality in
organizations is key to achieving gender equitable outcomes for
all. The book is based on the authors' interviews with 30 leaders
who broke new ground on gender equality in organizations,
international case studies crafted from consultations and
organizational evaluations, and lessons from nearly fifteen years
of experience of Gender at Work, a learning collaborative of 30
gender equality experts. From the Dalit women's groups in India who
fought structural discrimination in the largest 'right to work'
program in the world, to the intrepid activists who challenged the
powerful members of the UN Security Council to define mass rape as
a tactic of war, the trajectories and analysis in this book will
inspire readers to understand and chip away at the deep structures
of gender discrimination in organizational policies, practices and
outcomes. Designed for practitioners, policy makers, donors,
students and researchers looking at gender, development and
organizational change, this book offers readers a widely tested
tool of analysis - the Gender at Work Analytical Framework - to
assess the often invisible structures of gender bias in
organizations and to map desired strategies and change processes.
