Halford, Susan

Negotiating gendered identities at work : place, space and time / Susan Halford and Pauline Leonard - Houndmills, Basingstoke, Hampshire ; New York : Palgrave Macmillan, 2006 - xii, 193 p. ; 23 cm

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? This question is explored with theoretical insights from disciplines including sociology, geography, history and gender studies interwoven with a major new empirical study of doctors and nurses working in the British National Health Service
