ABSTRACT
In recent years, gender and management scholars have drawn attention to experimental forms of writing about gender. This chapter comprises the three scholars’ stories, linking their individual experiences to the history of the Working Group and broader histories of systems of gender and power, namely, patriarchy and capitalism. First author writes about how her personal story is interwoven with her research on gender equality as a leadership task and how her benchmark studies and analyses support leaders to become more inclusive. Second author describes how her personal feminist consciousness inspired her to institutionalize advocating for women in leadership positions and a better understanding of broken masculinity. Third author describes how she moved from research and writing about a relatively bounded “local” community, the first generation of Wall Street women, to studying global gender initiatives such as the United Nations Women’s Empowerment Principles, to collaborating with women in finance and cinema on the first Hollywood film about Wall Street women.
