This edited book inserts postfeminism (PF) as a critical concept
into understandings of work and organization. While the notion of
PF has been extensively investigated in cultural and media studies,
it has yet to emerge within organization studies - remaining
marginal to understandings of work based experiences and
subjectivities. Understanding PF as a discursive cultural context
not only draws on an established epistemological orientation to
organizations as discursively constructed and reproduced but allows
us to highlight how PF may underpin and be underpinned by other
discursive regimes This book, as the first in the field, draws on
key international authors to explore: the contextual 'backdrop' of
PF and its links with neo-liberalism, transnational feminism and
other hegemonic discourses; the different ways in which this
backdrop has infiltrated organizational values and practice through
the primacy attached to choice, merit and individual agency as well
as through the widespread perception that gender disadvantage has
been 'solved'; and the implications for organizational subjectivity
and for how inequality is experienced and perceived. This book
introduces postfeminism as a critical concept with contemporary
importance for the study of organizations, arguing for its
explanatory potential when: Exploring women's and men's experience
of managing and organizing; Investigating the gendered aspects of
organizational life; Analysing the contemporary validation of the
feminine and the associated feminization of management/leadership
and organizations; Tracing the emergence of new femininities and
masculinities within organizational contexts. The book is ideal
reading for researchers working in the area of Gender and
Organization Studies but is also of interest to researchers in the
areas of Cultural Studies, Media Studies, Wom

"Voice, Visibility and the Gendering of Organizations" examines how
gender is linked to organizations and accounts for the differences
in the experiences of men and women in the world of work. The book
is structured around the two interrelated concepts of visibility
and voice, which are the key themes in the gender/organization
literature, and provides a useful organising framework.
