This third volume in the Routledge Focus on Women Writers in
Organization Studies series challenges us to think again about the
implications of gender, embodiment and fluidity for organizing and
managing. The themes of this book disrupt our understanding of
dualisms between sex (men and women), gender (masculinity and
femininity) and mind / body, and in so doing analyze the ways in
which dominant power relations constitute heteronormativity
throughout organizational history, thereby reinforcing mainstream
management research and teaching. By centring the work of women
writers, this book gives recognition to their thinking and praxis;
each writer making political inroads into changing the lived
experiences of those who have suffered discrimination, exclusion
and marginalization as they consider the ways in which
organizational knowledge has tended to privilege rather than
problematize masculinity, fixity, control, normativity, violence
and discrimination. The themes and authors (Acker, de Beauvoir,
Halberstam, Kosofsky Sedgwick, Kristeva, Yourcenar) covered in this
book are important precisely because they are not generally
encountered in mainstream writing on management and organization
studies. They are significant to the study and analysis of
organizations because they demonstrate how our understanding of
managing and organizing can be transformed when other
voices/bodies/genders write on what it is work, live, lead and
relate to self and others. All the writers turn to the ways in
which individuals matter organizationally, acknowledging that lived
experiences are a source of political and ethical practice. Each
Woman Writer is introduced and analyzed by experts in organization
studies. Further reading and accessible resources are also
identified for those interested in knowing more. This book will be
relevant to students, researchers and practitioners with an
interest in business and management, organizational studies,
critical management studies, gender studies and sociology. Like all
the books in this series, it will also be of interest to anyone who
wants to see, think and act differently.
