Gender Images in Public Administration: Legitimacy and the Administrative State

Extensively updated to reflect recent research and new theoretical literature, this much-anticipated Second Edition applies a gender lens to the field of public administration, looking at issues of status, power, leadership, legitimacy and change. The author examines the extent of women′s historical progress as public employees, their current status in federal, state, and local governments, the peculiar nature of the organizational reality they experience, and women′s place in society at large as it is shaped by government.

Refounding Public Administration redefines the legitimate role of the public administrator and creates a normative theory of the development of American public administration. It is an extension of the Blacksburg Manifesto which was the result of the Blacksburg Conference and as such will produce considerable academic dialogue and controversy.

For the first time the key issues in public management are connected with the attitudes and concerns of the women′s movement. Stivers describes how the various images of the public manager, such as the professional expert and the visionary leader, not only possess traditional masculine features but confer privileges on men and pose practical dilemmas for women. The author also suggests how feminist thinking might help reduce gender bias in current theory and practice.
