Biography
Kathryn Haynes is Professor of Accounting, Northumbria University, UK.
This book is a staggeringly good read and the outcome of impressive scholarship. Many scholars have tackled parts of this important topic, but not one of them has come close to providing an analysis that is as broad and deep as this work. It is, nevertheless, accessible to all and should be part of the canon for anyone working in business as well as academic members of the social science community more generally.
Professor Emerita Jane Broadbent, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK.
In her landmark book, Accounting For Feminism, Professor Haynes has delivered a comprehensive analysis of leading edge research and practice into the role and importance of gender, race, class and culture for the accounting profession. The sweep of issues addressed, from expectations, choices and activism to accounting technologies, sustainability and research methodologies, will make an indelible mark on our global profession and its literature.
Professor Lee D. Parker, Research Professor in Accounting, Adam Smith Business School, The University of Glasgow, UK, and Joint Founding Editor - Accounting, Auditing & Accountability Journal.
