Accounting for Feminism - Exploring Emancipation for Profession and Practice

The book addresses contemporary global feminisms and their potential emancipatory implications for accounting, as a profession and as a tool or technology. It takes an overtly feminist position, informed by feminist theory, feminist methodology and feminist activism, to challenge constructions of gender and the resulting inequalities.
