Issues of Identity for Women Managers

Judi Marshall

Chapter 1 in Businesswoman, 1987, pp 10-31 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter looks at the personal identity implications for women of working in a business world still largely dominated by men. Early sections establish what it means to say that male values dominate organisations and review the difficulties and conflicts many women currently experience. These are now well documented in the varied literature about women at work. Many women are moving on to look for and try out new ways of being in organisations, new life-styles and patterns. The remainder of the chapter explores these developments and the choices managers face.
