This is a very interesting and important collection of
articles...what unites these papers and makes them particularly
interesting is threefold: all question assumptions that have been
made about gendered organization and work; all do more than simply
point out those assumptions, providing a re-analysis in each
particular area; and all firmly ground their analyses in concrete
data. It is not only this last which sets them apart from recent
cultural studies, but also the fact that they do not seem to
sacrifice more perceptive and nuanced interpretations in the
process...[the articles] all show that it is in fact possible to do
sensitive research that is underpinned by data.All of them not only
provide useful critiques of previous approaches, but also move the
discipline forward by adding new analyses to it.
