In honor of the centennial anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which granted American women the right to vote, Perspectives on Gender and Work delves into the ongoing struggles faced by women of color in exercising this right. This volume compiles personal narratives from prominent scholars who have contributed significantly to the understanding of gender dynamics in the workplace. Their stories highlight both the progress made and the challenges that remain, providing a rich context for the current landscape of gender equality.

The past few decades have seen unprecedented levels of intergroup conflict, with polarized views on sociopolitical issues such as gender equality and immigration taking center stage in media and public discourse. These dynamics have not only influenced societal attitudes but have also created strains within workplaces, making it essential to explore how these factors impact organizational climates. Perspectives on Gender and Work aims to address these pressing issues by presenting research and theories that foster a deeper understanding of diversity in organizations.

By combining personal narratives with scholarly insights, this volume offers a meaningful exploration of how gender intersects with other marginalized identities in professional settings. The narratives within Perspectives on Gender and Work provide a unique window into the lives of those who engage in this critical scholarship, pushing the boundaries of our understanding of diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
