在这篇文章中，作者解决了两个女权主义问题：第一，如何概念化交叉性，阶级，性别和种族关系的不平等的相互复制，第二，如何识别在工作组织中创造平等的障碍。她对这两个问题提出了一个答案，提出了“不平等制度”的概念，作为理解工作组织中不平等现象的分析方法。不平等制度是导致所有工作组织中持续不平等的相互关联的做法和过程。工作组织是调查复杂的不平等现象不断产生的关键场所，因为许多社会不平等现象都起源于这些组织。工作组织也是许多试图改变不平等模式的目标：对变革努力及其产生的反对意见的研究往往是观察不平等再现的经常不可见方面的机会。不平等制度的概念可能有助于分析组织变革项目，以更好地理解为什么这些项目经常失败，为什么他们成功时，这种情况发生。
In this article, the author addresses two feminist issues: first, how to conceptualize intersectionality, the mutual reproduction of class, gender, and racial relations of inequality, and second, how to identify barriers to creating equality in work organizations. She develops one answer to both issues, suggesting the idea of "inequality regimes" as an analytic approach to understanding the creation of inequalities in work organizations. Inequality regimes are the interlocked practices andprocesses that result in continuing inequalities in all work organizations. Work organizations are critical locations for the investigation of the continuous creation of complex inequalities because much societal inequality originates in such organizations. Work organizations are also the target for many attempts to alter patterns of inequality: The study ofchange efforts and the oppositions they engender are often opportunities to observe frequently invisible aspects of the reproduction of inequalities. The concept of inequality regimes may be useful in analyzing organizational change projects to better understand why these projects so often fail and why they succeed when this occurs.
