Description:Recent years have witnessed growing scholarly interest in efforts to advance womens work and in exploring the implicit obstacles to gender equity such as the glass floor, glass ceiling, and glass walls that have persisted in most career fields. This interdisciplinary collection contributes to this new field of knowledge by curating scholarly essays and current research on gendered work environments and all the nuanced meanings of work in the context of feminism and gender equality.

Others use social-scientific approaches to identify strategies for making the contemporary Western workplace more humane and inclusive to women and other disadvantaged members of society.Advanced undergraduates and graduate students in womens studies, sociology, history, and communication could use this book in courses that address the gendered workplace from an interdisciplinary perspective. Scholars from various disciplines interested in gender and work could also use the book as a reference and a guidepost for future research.
