`This book is well suited for graduate courses in gender issues, and is a useful literature update for researchers working on gender issues. One of its strengths is its ability to stimulate critical thinking about the underlying structural issues in organizations and society′ - Journal of Occupational and Organizational Psychology′This is a really important book for anyone who wants to find research references on equal opportunities for women in management′ - Management in Education ′ I commend this book to managers of both sexes in the public and private sectors. There is much to stimulate effective action. Hopefully researchers will also heed the call for further studies′ - Women in Management Review′I must first of all commend this volume as a very useful resource for women who are actually grappling with being managers, and for researchers in the field′ - International Review of Women and Leadership
