Recent developments in critical organization studies suggest that feminist theory and research provides an additional, and currently underexplored, domain of inquiry. Although critical studies have done much to focus attention on the relationships among communication, hegemony, and organization, little attempt has been made to explore organizations as gendered sites of communication, control, and resistance. This article takes up this issue through an exploration of the intersection of feminism and postmodernism and its potential value for organizational communication studies. The concept of gendered rationality is suggested as a useful way of framing this intersection.
