Feminist perspectives in business studies: A conceptual framework

Mariasole Bannò and Giorgia Maria D’Allura

Chapter 1 in Feminist Perspectives in Business Studies, 2025, pp 14-39 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The chapter outlines the theoretical foundations of feminist theories and their implications as a critical perspective for examining women's influence in business studies. It introduces a framework to discuss the interplay between two levels of inquiry regarding women and business: women's societal roles, both individually and within the family institution, and the management theories used to interpret women's roles in business studies. Feminist theories, particularly through the lens of social identity theory, help analyze the institutional barriers to women's participation in business by rejecting biological determinism and highlighting the role of social constructs in shaping behavior.
