Rezensionen

'Most family business research has strangely managed to forget gender. This book changes all that by explicitly analysing gender inequalities in family business families. In so doing, Mulholland also furthers key understandings of the gendering of economy, and intersections of class, ethnicity and gender.' - Professor Jeff Hearn, University of Manchester, UK & Swedish School of Economics, Helsinki, Finland
