Recently, The Economist ran an article on the emergence of feminism within management theory:
But some of today’s most influential feminists contend that women will never fulfill their potential if they play by men’s rules. According to Avivah Wittenberg-Cox and Alison Maitland, two of the most prominent exponents of this position, it is not enough to [...]
