| Summary: | Fletcher studied women engineers among male co-workers to learn how perceptive, interactive team or collaborative actions get "disappeared" even when they are most critical for today's jobs. Actions termed "relational" signify stereotyped and devalued feminine traits, yet also are necessary. Chapter 5 dissects the dynamic that redefines relational practice as "not serious work." Chapter 6 sketches out specific strategies for individuals/organizations to counter "disappearing" of women's contributions. |
