Gender and Work

Paper Summary:

This essay is a response to three articles dealing with issues regarding gender and work. The writer discusses the first article that points out that the feminist discourse is missing from IS information. The writer then comments on the second article that examines wage inequities that are based on gender as one travels further up the status ladder in the workplace. Finally, the writer examines the third article that concerns how embodying masculine stereotypes affects interaction at work for men.

From the Paper:

"All three of these articles deal with gender relations in the workplace in ways that are not immediately obvious, and in so doing, they add greatly to our understanding of how gender in the workplace really functions. It seems, in fact, as though this is an issue that can and should be explored on several distinct levels. The most obvious ones have, to a large degree, been explored and may be on their way to being remedied."
