Abstract

This chapter reviews existing literature meticulously which are relevant to the study of women’s representation in management. Before exploring the literature on the research area of women in management, it is essential to understand the concept of ‘sex’ and ‘gender’. Several key concepts are reviewed in this chapter. It first introduces the key concepts such as gender versus sex, patriarchy and feminism to understand the concept of women in society, gender gap, women’s current representation in management, gender inequality and factors acting as barriers and promoters of career success. It also reviews the literature on women in management in India and at the global level in terms of the concepts of Glass Ceiling, Glass Walls, Gender Diversity and Gender Inequality. Policies and actions taken up by the Government of India to bring equality and justice are also reviewed.
