Green Owl and the Corn Maiden

---

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to engage a different notion of feminism in accounting by
addressing the issues of feminism, balance, and integration as a means of understanding differently
the world for which one accounts. The ideas are communicated by the sharing of experiences through
myth and storytelling.
Design/methodology/approach – An alternative lens for understanding the giving of accounts is
proposed, drawing on earlier feminist accounting literature as well as storytelling and myth.
Findings – Including the subjective and intersubjective approaches to experiencing and
understanding the world recommends an approach whereby both the feminine-intuitive and the
masculine-rational processes are integrated in constructing decision models and accounts.
Research limitations/implications – Through an expanded view of values that can be included in
reporting or recounting a different model is seen, and different decisions are enabled. The primary
limitation is having to use words to convey one’s subjective and intersubjective understandings. The
written medium is not the most natural language for such an undertaking.
Practical implications – By enabling the inclusion of more feminine values, a way is opened to
engage more holistically with the society in which decisions are embedded.
Originality/value – Drawing on the storytelling tradition, a holistic model is suggested that can lead
to emergence of a more balanced societal reporting.
