There are more women in senior positions, but increased opportunities have not been gained without psychological consequences. Rather than detail the barriers to women's success, Paula Nicolson examines the problems they can face as a result. She re-examines the ways that patriarchal structures resist women's progress, and how male success has psychological implications for women's sense of subjectivity, self-esteem and gender identity, and how achieving against such odds has an impact on women's everyday lifes. "Gender, Power and Organization" is particularly concerned with women who have achieved or aspire to professional power, and the psychological dimension of power for women, men and the organizations in which they work. |
