THE SILENCES OF MAINSTREAM FEMINIST ACCOUNTING RESEARCH

This paper is concerned to articulate the silences and omissions of mainstream feminist accounting research. Such research overlooks considerations of class, race and culture. It leaves unquestioned the current socio-political and economic order, succumbs in effect to current racial biases and fails to offer a counter to prevalent Western ethnocentrism. It not only tends to conservatism in these respects but also, relatedly, it fails to develop a critique of patriarchal social arrangements.
