Risks of the emergence of management literature aimed at women

Abstract

In this article, we address the emergence of the management literature specifically addressed to women, which emerges in response to the growing role of this group in management positions. In the first place, we treat the discursive background of the managerial literature in its general meaning. Secondly, we reflect on the low visibility of women as creators of this kind of literature, and we recognize some of the few women that could be considered within this category. Thirdly, we address the process that leads to the emergence of a subgenre aimed specifically at women. Finally, we try to address the women's leadership discourse contained in this literature and its ethical implications for the emergence of gender equality in organizations.
