The focus of examination is inequality of opportunity between the genders and the impact this has on organizations, individual men and women, and society as a whole. It is undoubtedly the case that progress has been made with women participating in organizational life in greater numbers and at more senior levels than has been historically the case, challenging notions that senior and\/or influential organizational and political roles remain a masculine domain. \u003cem\u003eThe Oxford Handbook of Gender in Organizations\u003c\/em\u003e is a comprehensive analysis of thinking and research on gender in organizations with original contributions from key international scholars in the field. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eHandbook \u003c\/em\u003ecomprises four sections.
