Women in business
Focusing on women entrepreneurs in a large British city, we examine how women's commercially listed businesses populated that city. Using commercial property rental records, our study allows us to understand sectoral variation and the distribution of businesses across the city and to assess both the absolute and relative contribution of women in the commercial environment. In addition to this, we examine census returns and trade directory informa…
The incidence and persistence of partnerships in a British industrial city
This paper examines the prevalence of business partnerships in a late-nineteenth-century British city, using individual-level data from post office directories and censuses. Focusing on Glasgow, we present a detailed picture of partnership number and type, demographic characteristics of the entrepreneurs who ran them, and how these businesses persisted over time. We show that partnerships were a key business grouping in the city and demonstrate t…
Margins and centres
Gender and feminism are often described as being marginal to the preoccupations that define the core of business history. Here we explore three possibilities that this framing suggests: first, that scholars of gender and feminism in business history are responsible for moving their work from margins to centre, becoming part of and perhaps changing the mainstream; second, that those working in the centre ought to expand their horizons to become mo…
Take nothing for granted
Special Issues can surprise and frustrate in equal measure. Editorial expectations are often upended. The submissions imagined are not always those received or in the numbers anticipated. The questions that frame the call for papers seldom carry the same weight at the beginning and end of the editorial process. Yet somehow the academic publishing industry survives and thrives, commodifying scholarly inquiry based on virtually free labour inputs. …
Where is the visible commitment to gender in the advertised content of UK management degree programmes
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to establish the extent to which prospective students can see a visible commitment to study gender in the UK business/management school curriculum prior to enrolment. Design/methodology/approach A content analysis of the descriptions of modules offered as part of business and management degrees offered by 112 UK universities was conducted. The analysis was restricted to the publicly available information on th…
Getting together, living together, thinking together
This contribution analyses internal management development activities at Tata Sons during the 1940s and 1950s in India. The existing literature has concentrated on the establishment of management education programmes at universities, and our understanding of in-company managerial training and development activities remains very limited. The contribution challenges the commonly held assumption that the American influence on Indian higher education…
For All Intents and Purposes
In this paper, we offer an alternative to class-based studies of saving behavior by using individual-level ledger records from accounts opened in 1830 in the Limehouse Savings Bank, London. Our analysis suggests that such banks served a valid financial purpose for a much wider constituency of savers than the targeted “industrious poor.” True gaming of the system by the middle classes appears to be relatively limited, and instead depositors were u…
The parochial realm, social enterprise and gender
Catharine Cappe and Faith Gray, and a wider group of women to whom they had strong network ties, founded a number of philanthropic enterprises in York, England, in the 1780s. Their activities were largely focused on the provision of sickness benefits to single and married women and the management of schools for girls that had a substantial occupational training element. The social enterprises they formed or operated were long-lasting – in the cas…
Working-Class Households and Savings in England, 1850–1880
The British trustee savings banks that operated throughout the nineteenth century were designed expressly for working-class use, and solely to promote long-term saving. Despite the substantial numbers and national spread of these banks, there have been few studies of their use by savers. Their neglect as a data source is puzzling, given the extent of the surviving depositor records that provide long-run empirical data that includes savers’ identi…

The education of women for citizenship
This article focuses on how citizenship education was built into the organisational practices as well as the formal instructional programmes of women’s organisations in Britain in the pre‐ and post‐Second World War period. It compares the efforts of two such organisations, the National Federation of Women’s Institutes (NFWI) and the British Federation of Business and Professional Women (BFBPW), to train women in the skills of citizenship. Despite…
Forgotten Feminists
Using archive documents of the British Federation of Business and Professional Women (BFBPW) this article explores the role of this early business organisation in campaigning for feminist issues in the post‐war period. It argues that the BFBPW is indicative of the complexities of the women’s movement in the post‐suffrage era when it fragmented into interconnecting campaigning organisations around a multitude of women’s issues. The article suggest…
Does Woman + a Network = Career Progression
Question: I am an ambitious and talented junior manager who has recently been hired by FAB plc, a large multinational company. I am also a woman and, as part of my induction pack, have received an invitation to join FABFemmes — the in-company women's network. I don't think my gender has been an obstacle to my success thus far and so I don't really feel the need to join. But on the other hand I don't want to turn my back on something that might of…
The political economy of networked learning communities in higher education
This article uses the example of the recent (ill‐fated) experiment in the creation of a global education product—the UKeU—to explore how the concept of community in learning changes in this context. It uses a framework borrowed from the literature on changes in the welfare state to explain how the new economies of on line education distort the traditional ideas of learning communities. The article argues that ignoring the underpinning structural …
Sleeping with the enemy? Exploiting the textual turn in management research
Researchers in management and organizations are suffering from a narrowing of the economic research arteries in the modernist mode of much research undertaken in this area. This article considers the possibility of incorporating more reflexive writing into research accounts produced in this field despite the systemic barriers to doing so. The article points to a 'textual turn' in the study of management and suggests textual strategies and resourc…

Incestuous Fields
Many managers are turning to universities in order to gain post-experience post-graduate qualifications in management - both to supplement their experience in career terms and to broaden their understanding of their practice. The design of such programmes encourage manager/researchers to undertake research studies in their own organisations - exposing these researchers to issues connected to researching amongst at least a partially known sample. …
The Provocative and Evocative Gaze upon Women in Management Development
This article explores physical indeterminacy in respect of women teachers in management development. It uncovers the role of orthodox practice in helping to determine the body and its part in the evaluation of the teacher. It poses questions as to what responses individual women have available to them when having to 'face' up to the fact that they are a semiotic item that is purchased and consumed by management. It argues that feminist post-struc…
