“…But, despite our attempts, we are also keenly aware of what is not here and who we do not hear from, despite the many and varied contributions. For example, we recognize that none of our authors explicitly engage with gender or feminist approaches, even though this is clearly an important aspect of management and historical research (Aston et al, 2022;Haynes, 2010). Nevertheless, the approaches and sources discussed in our Handbook are useful for researching gender and for analysing the power dynamics in a world that always stays one step ahead of academic theorizing.…”

Everything has a past. That is, everything has evolved over time to be what it is now. But the past and history matter to different people in different ways. Organizations and management are no exceptions. Yet, despite the recognition that the past, history and memory are important, we still hear the question 'why does history matter to management and organization studies?'. We hear this even though historical research is published more frequently in top journals (

This article aims to bridge the mainstream social science and the economic history literatures on the drivers of gender equality across contexts. We discuss the explanations in the social science literature on five central dimensions of global gender equality—health, work, education, marriage, and political representation—and survey the economic history literature that studied these explanations in the historical context. We analyze the commonalities and contradictions in the theoretical and methodological approaches of the two strands. The survey then offers an interdisciplinary theoretical framework that can bridge the two strands. By doing so, the review article discusses how incorporating the economic history literature into the social science literature can improve our current understanding of global gender equality in two ways. First, the long durée perspective provides insight into the diversity in the historical turning points in gender equality across world regions over the 20th century. Second, it suggests that the integration of a historical perspective can tackle the difficulties in isolating causal mechanisms and identify why standard economic and institutional conditions have varying impacts on gender equality outcomes across world regions. It also identifies the limitations in the current social science and economic history literatures and provide directions for future research.
