Gender and Women's Experience at Work: A Critical and Feminist Perspective on Human Resource Development.

Howell, Sharon L.; Carter, Vicki K.; Schied, Fred M.

Adult Education Quarterly, v52 n2 p112-27 Feb 2002

Analysis of data from 8 female manufacturing workers, 13 professionals, and 10 clerical workers, two themes emerged: (1) women and organizational change; and (2) disappearing boundaries of work and family. The assumptions of human resource development about why and how women work and definitions of productive work were found to be flawed and antifeminist. (Contains 51 references.) (SK)
