Abstract

Women expatriates and women on international assignments are now a permanent feature of the expatriate scene even though they remain a (significant) minority. The past two generations saw a gradual but consistent growth in the types and extent of roles women have undertaken, and the evidence suggests similarity in performance to men and sometimes better than men. Recent expansions of the gender category and related intersectionality aspects suggest that more challenges lie ahead.
