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.
