SHATTERING THE INSTRUMENTAL-EXPRESSIVE MYTH

The Power of Women's Networks in Corporate-Government Affairs

University of Massachusetts

Women in corporate-government affairs are involved in work networks at all levels; yet, there are significant differences in the character of ties by gender. This article challenges claims that women's work connections are not instrumental, and hence not powerful, relative to men's. The author argues that, although limited, women are in key positions to influence business-government relations and their own situations.
