Cited in Malcolm Gladwell's book, The tipping point: Overstories, superspreaders, and the rise of social engineering, this rather dry-sounding but well-known scholarly article in the American Journal of Sociology was actually a ground-breaking study of group dynamics upon the arrival and rise of "token" women in an organization. Gladwell gives a good discussion of the significance of Kantor's research in his book, pp. 111-114.

Feminism has never been about getting a job for one woman. It's about making life more fair for women everywhere. It's not about a piece of the existing pie; there are too many of us for that. It's about baking a new pie.
