Changing the Narrative: The Difference Women Make in Public Administration

In: Administration & society, Band 49, Heft 1, S. 9-19

Abstract

The dominant narrative about women's progress in public administration focuses on identifying the obstacles to that progress and how to overcome them. But to make real progress toward gender equality and social justice, we must rethink our entire approach to research. Understanding the difference women make via narrative inquiry is a necessary change to the prevailing dialectic.
