Social psychological research suggests that workplace discrimination harms women’s self-confidence and mental health, which may lead them to remain silent or quit their jobs after facing discrimination. However, feminist scholarship argues that discrimination can generate feminist consciousness and resistance. To interrogate these conflicting expectations, we draw on in-depth interviews with professional women to examine exit, voice, and silence in discrimination’s aftermath. We find that some women remain silent or exit organizations in search of less hostile environments. Others, however, develop feminist consciousness, voice complaints, and sometimes accomplish hard-fought changes within their organizations. To explain these divergent responses, we identify support networks as a crucial mechanism. Support networks help women avoid self-blame and rumination by resolving the ambiguity that frequently obscures discrimination. Support networks also spread awareness of discrimination and generate feminist solidarity. In doing so, they encourage women to contest negative treatment by exercising voice. Implications for the study of workplace discrimination, the debate over the stalled gender revolution, and occupational segregation are discussed.

Drawing on gender structure and life course theories, this article examines how heterosexual couples “undo gender” in their work–family arrangements within the conservative context of Switzerland. Focusing on how gendered norms and expectations are challenged, we explore in a longitudinal analysis the influence of both partners’ gender ideologies on paid and unpaid work arrangements across family life stages. Using couple data from the Swiss Household Panel (2002–2020), we estimate pooled and fixed-effects linear probability models to analyze both between-couple and within-couple determinants in undoing gender. We find diversity in how gender is undone in paid and unpaid work arrangements across couples’ gender ideologies and family life stages: While gender ideologies consistently influence paid work arrangements, they affect unpaid work arrangements only for couples living with children. Strong egalitarian ideologies can overcome gendered norms and unsupportive institutions, especially when both partners share these beliefs. However, these ideologies only partially mitigate macro-level constraints. Still, a significant minority of couples challenge dominant norms, particularly in their paid work arrangements. Our findings highlight the need for policy reform to establish supportive institutions that empower couples to align their behaviors with their gender ideologies, paving the way for greater equality in the future.

In this article, I demonstrate how piety and feminism can come together to motivate women’s departures from gender-traditional religious communities. I draw on, and combine, theories of religious defection with those on the development of feminist consciousness to show how some Muslim women, who joined the Salafi community in London between 1980s and 2010, later moved out of the community in different directions and to varying degrees, after developing a pious feminist consciousness. This pious feminist consciousness, I argue, involves the identification of gender inequality in gender-traditional religious communities as well as the development of an oppositional consciousness in which religion is critically applied to contest women’s subaltern position in these communities. This work not only furthers our understanding of the gendered dimensions of religious defection, but also highlights the processes through which women may come to participate in religious feminism, and the different forms of agency they exhibit in the process.
