Cleveland, Jeanette N.; Stockdale, Margaret; Murphy, Kevin R.; Gutek, Barbara A.

"Cleveland, Stockdale, and Murphy have written a book that examines the scientific study of women and men in organizations. This book is interesting, insightful, thought-provoking, and at times enervating. It is also timely and important....On the whole, this book meets its objectives. It provides a thorough (and mostly objective) survey of research on women and men in organizations that will add value to college courses in a variety of disciplines. Although many of the topics covered are controversial and will spur heated debates, this book offers a stimulating basis for discussion and improved understanding."—Personal Psychology"...this book enables the reader to acquire a good deal of information about gender dynamics, gender-related work issues, and the work realm in one single compilation."—Psychology of Women Quarterly
