Abstract: Abstract As more women continue to work alongside men in professional and managerial jobs worldwide, sociologists, feminists, organisational theorists and others who study economic inequality collectively agree that any analysis of women that ignores race will render itself incomplete (Browne and Misra, 2003:487). Likewise, theories of racial inequality that exclude gender from their frameworks are similarly inadequate for understanding the lives of women of color (Reskin and Charles, 1999). As Brewer, Conrad and King (2002) contend, while feminist economists are among those who have made progress in connecting the dynamics of gender, race and class, more needs to be done particularly in drawing attention to interconnections of gender with race and class, race with gender and class, and class with race and gender (Brewer et al., 2002).
