This book aims to look beyond the media rhetoric and provide a systematic analysis of women's everyday experiences of, and responses to gender discrimination in the Indian banking sector. The book shows that in the final analysis, gender inequality is the outcome of several cross-cutting factors, including local discourses on femininity, organisational structures, gendered organisational practices and institutional factors such as government laws.
