Feminist Case Against Bureaucracy by Kathy Ferguson

Feminist Case Against Bureaucracy by Kathy Ferguson

Like it or not, all of us who live in modern society are organization men and women. The author shows how pervasive these patterns of relationship are in our work lives and personal lives, and how deep they run into the very language of the organization and of ordinary life.

"[I]ntroduces and explores brilliantly such concepts as bureaucrats as the 'second sex'; feminist discourse as a voice of resistance; and the absence of threat in 'how to succeed feminism' ... [T]his book is definitely Ferguson's case and a compelling one at that!" --Choice "The bones, flesh and soul of Kathy Ferguson's impressive new work in feminist theory are politics--radical politics--the kind few scholars address any more... In this short and utterly engaging study, Ferguson maps new terrain for radical feminism, reduces liberal feminism to a heap of false promises, forces Leftists toward feminism to a degree unapproached by the Marxist-Feminist literature, and, of course, makes a case against bureaucracy. What is more, the feats are accomplished with erudition, flashes of ironic humor, and a theoretical manner which is at once complex and rooted firmly in the pathos of daily Western life... A survival text for a Movement--now that's a book no working woman can afford to be without." --The Women's Review of Books

Kathy E. Ferguson is professor of political science and women's studies at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa.
