Gender Change in Organizational Arenas: Gender Mainstreaming as a Process of Translation

Over the last three decades, ever since Rosabeth Moss Canter (1977) focused our attention on the status of women in work organizations, feminist organizational research and theorizing developed sharp analytical tools for recognizing and deciphering the gendered nature inherent in work organizations (Acker 2006; Acker 1990; Meyerson and Kolb 2000; Yancey-Martin 2006). Their gendered structures, practices and internal cultures, as well as their gendering effect on society, had been studied and understood.
