Unlike other feminized professions, academic
librarianship functions relatively autonomously
within its parent bureaucracy. Therefore,
academic libraries offer a unique model of workplace
gendering and feminism. This qualitative,
ethnographic study explores issues of feminism and
gender in three academic libraries, each in a
different region of the United States. Feminist
challenges to bureaucracy emerged in the areas of
hierarchy, division of labor, competition and
collaboration, decision-making, and communication.
Feminine practice in the libraries reflected private
sphere attitudes toward work (including values of
community, emotionality, and caring). Giving voice to
feminine and feminist practice previously unexplored
in conventional workplaces, this book provides new
models for management and organizational theory.
