| Abstract: | The ratio of women in managerial positions is to be sure an essential indicator for assessing modern gender relations. The current situation yet appears quite ambiguous. Women do have reached lower and middle management levels, whereas top levels still seem inaccessible for most of them. How is this phenomenon of “inclusion with incomplete integration” to be explained? Taking on the debate of informal boundary work and on the ground of Bourdieu’s concepts of social distinction and habitus, this article focuses on the persistency and transformations of access barriers. |
