Recenzii

"This newly revised edition of Reeves’ book offers teachers of gender and work courses a comprehensive, well-researched, and readable textbook. Reeves takes on a series of formidable challenges to create a single text that contains everything you need to teach a course on gender and work successfully. She includes a review of the impact of the various waves of the feminist movement, an understanding of the relevant theoretical perspectives, an overview of the pertinent legislation, the historical and contemporary statistical data on gender and work, real world case studies of women in the workplace, as well as practical advice for college women who plan to enter the business world. Reeves' compelling book is the perfect pedagogical tool for teaching and learning in gender and work courses taught by faculty in business, management, women’s studies, or sociology programs."
Rebecca L. Bach, Duke University, USA
"Women in Business offers a solid foundation for critically examining current gender issues in the work place. Framed in the historical movement toward gender equality, its socio-economic and legal perspectives derive from sound scholarship and insightful probing of the complexities of the persistent challenges facing women and their career development."
Catherine Michael, St. Edward's University, USA
"Reeves captures the essence of today’s woman in the workplace. She walks readers through the trials and tribulations of women and inspires women to achieve their desired outcomes. The case studies engage students, promoting an active learning experience to enhance their academic success."
Melissa Cooper, Texas Woman's University, USA
