This collection analyzes women’s narratives on the workplace. These narratives speak to the daily struggles women face in the workforce, such as inflexible and long work hours, masculine workplace cultures, employers’ stereotypical attitudes, and the absence of work-life balance initiatives. Viewed from a sociological perspective, the authors emphasize the reoccurring themes of devaluation, exploitation, and dehumanization of female workers resulting from unconscious or implicit bias and which directly impacts women’s quality of life.

A compelling new book, Female Voices from the Worksite, edited by Marquita R. Walker, makes an important contribution to understanding how women workers around the globe are marginalized and exploited. Using qualitative research from a wide variety of scholars, Female Voices from the Worksite shines a bright light on how both explicit and direct discrimination and implicit bias create barriers for women to participate as equal economic actors and human beings.
