MEETINGS AND INTERSECTIONS - ORGANIZATIONAL THEORY ENCOUNTERS FEMINIST THEORIZING

The stimulus for the thoughts expressed in this article was an article published in 1992 by Marta Calas and Linda Smircich entitled ''Re-writing Gender in Organizational Theorising: Directions From Feminist Perspectives'' in which they use a feminist poststructuralist perspective to examine the way in which gender is ''written'' into organizational theory. This article, however, is not concerned with issues of deconstruction and the rewriting of organizational discourse, but with consideration of how organizational theory and feminist theory might meet, intersect, and enrich each other.
