PARADOX: MYTH AND REALITY OF WOMEN IN MANAGEMENT IN THE US
In: Women in Management Review, Volume 6, Issue 2
The paradox is identified of the few women who attain high
managerial positions compared with public perceptions of extensive
occupational progress on the part of women entering the labourforce. In
accounting for this paradox the status of research and theory on women
in management in the US is described, gaps in this knowledge identified,
explanations offered for the current state of development, and prospects
for the future are considered.
