Abstract
True gender integration in the workplace faces barriers at several levels: societal, organizational, interactional, and individual. Recognition of the problems specific to each level greatly enhances our understanding of gender inequality in the workplace, and suggests new approaches to change. In this introduction I review articles in this special issue of Sociological Perspectives in the context of these four levels, and relate the themes of the issue to other research on gender integration in the workplace.Keywords
