ABSTRACT
Women's issues have been discussed and debated in career theory and practice for nearly 50 years. Indeed, one can argue that the contemporary revolution in career theory and practice, as reflected by the psychology-of-working framework (Blustein 2006, 2013a) Systems Theory Framework of career development (Patton and McMahon 2014), and other new perspectives (e.g. Richardson 2012), has been inspired to a great extent by the broad and systemic critiques offered by feminism and the social and intellectual movements that it has spawned. This current book, which has been so thoughtfully constructed and edited by Bimrose, McMahon, and Watson, offers a valuable opportunity for the next phase of a needed feminist infusion of critical thought into the discourse on work and career. Indeed, this book, which creatively combines qualitative research with reviews of international research, provides grist for the mill that forces a serious reckoning of the fundamental assumptions of existing and emerging theoretical ideas.
