摘要

At the end of this 25th anniversary year, it is interesting to look back at just how much the journal has changed over the last quarter of a century. The journal was founded in 1985 as Women in Management Review, becoming Gender in Management: An International Journal in 2008. However, it is not only the name that has changed; for example in 1985, there were only four issues per year and the journal looked more like a standard media publication than an academic journal. In contrast, since 1997, the number of issues increased to eight per volume and the review process is now far more rigorous. Although the journal has published material from a wide range of authors, many of the authors remain the same as from those early years. For example, in the very first issue of the journal, Professor Cary Cooper and Professor Judi Marshall were the headline papers. Moreover, the topic areas covered in that first issue, e.g. increasing women's participation in management and career development, while having developed in content over time, are still relevant today.
