Gender Images in Public Administration: Legitimacy and the Administrative State

Extensively updated to reflect recent research and new theoretical literature, this much-anticipated Second Edition applies a gender lens to the field of public administration, looking at issues of status, power, leadership, legitimacy and change. The author examines the extent of women′s historical progress as public employees, their current status in federal, state, and local governments, the peculiar nature of the organizational reality they experience, and women′s place in society at large as it is shaped by government.
