The founding of the Gender,Work and Organization journal: Reflections 25 years on

This article reflects on the founding of the journal some twenty five years ago. It identifies five major themes related to gender equality that were rapidly developing at the time of the launch and demonstrates how the first two volumes of the journal contributed to these developing debates. It concludes by reflecting how recent events such as the #metoo movement have had the beneficial effect of quelling any ideas that gender equality issues have been solved and argues that the GWO journal is well placed to build on this renewed interest to take these debates forward into the next twenty five years.
