Christine Kurmeyer’s social-psychological dissertation contributes to the exploration of the benefits of mentoring programs. Based on the example of a mentoring program for female graduates of natural and technical sciences who are transitioning into employment, she examines the inner structures and mechanisms of mentoring relationships using eight individual case analyses. However, due to considerable weaknesses in the presentation of the methodological approach, the findings can only insufficiently be applied to more general developments regarding the transformation of gender stereotypes and gender relations. Furthermore, due to her activities for the advancement of mentoring measures, the author occasionally lacks a critical distance to the subject matter, so that the new insights remain limited.
