世纪+旅程:用职业锻造探索先锋女会计师的职业成功

本研究的目的是探讨英国及其前殖民地美国、加拿大、澳大利亚和新西兰的早期女性会计师进入和职业成功的斗争。设计/方法/方法职业编制矩阵指导对五名先行者女会计的历史资料进行分析，以便了解她们成功进入该职业及其后来的职业。尽管环境排外，但在家庭和组织的支持下，职业发展的努力使这些女性成为各自国家第一批女会计师之一。她们的斗争不是针对个人的，而是更广泛地为妇女寻求社会、政治、经济和职业赋权。原创性/价值本文首次运用从当前女会计师职业发展中发展出来的职业塑造矩阵来探讨创业型女会计师的职业发展。它补充了关于会计领域妇女行动者的有限文献，并可能提供对接近当前形式的差异和歧视的见解。
