Abstract: Abstract We cannot discuss the roles and position of women in organizations without looking at their place in society. Organizations do not operate in a fishbowl but are part of a wider social system. Indeed today many organizations are part of a global system, and as such affected by global issues. Women’s emancipation is an unfinished global story, each country at a different chapter. In some countries equality seems a squeak away, in others women’s freedoms are only just beginning. However, their standing in society, wherever that may be, has been hard won.
