Since the enactment of the gender equality laws in the USA in the mid 1970s, scholars and policy makers have placed much focus on the situation of women within management. In this authoritative collection, the editors have brought together seminal articles by leading academics to demonstrate that there continue to be differences between equal opportunities policies and work place practices. Areas covered in this excellent two-volume set include career breaks and the gender pay gap, women and work–life integration, the glass ceiling, and gender and diversity.

‘The two volume set serves as an effective reader on women and management scholarship. This compilation would be useful as supplementary material for a doctoral level course on gender and management, as a good introduction to this literature stream for academics with a budding interest in the field, or even as a primer on academic writings on gender for human resource management professionals. In short, this two volume collection is most useful as a starting point on gender research in management.’

‘Because of its abundant relevant references this book should be the first stop for any advanced undergraduate and postgraduate student planning research in related areas, but due to its price, it is not meant to feature on students' own must have lists. Nevertheless, I hope it will find a place in numerous university libraries and become as widely used as it deserves to be.’
