Based on an empirical study of identity making by doctors and nurses working in British National Health Service hospitals
Drawing on the heritage of research that demonstrates the thoroughly gendered nature of work organizations, this book explores a key question that, as yet, remains unanswered: how does gendered organizational life affect individuals' identities as they go about their everyday working lives?
