Abstract
Gender concerns have been almost totally ignored within organizational analysis. This paper attempts to redress that ignorance. It has four related tasks: (1) to illustrate examples of gender-blind approaches to the study of organizations; (2), by way of a selective review of the organizations and culture debate, to argue for the utility of an organizational culture focus for an understanding of gender; (3), to root an organizational culture focus, along with gender concerns, within a feminist materialist method of analysis; (4), to explore, by way of a strategic application of Clegg's (1981) 'rule' focus, the potential of a feminist materialist analysis for understanding the relationship between gender and organizational culture.
