 \n\nAbstract:\n\nSocial networks play a key role in exacerbating and poten
 tially ameliorating inequality. The persistence of network-based inequalit
 y is well-documented. However\, the mechanisms that disrupt this unequal a
 ccess to resources via networks remain less understood. This study investi
 gates how structurally disruptive events\, such as mergers and acquisition
 s (M&As)\, reshape patterns of gender homophily and resource sharing in pr
 ofessional networks. We examine how 59 M&As shape the evolution of 82\,064
  physicians’ referral and patient-sharing networks. We find that disruptiv
 e events enhance women’s access to resources by altering the dynamics of g
 ender homophily in network tie formation\, maintenance\, and dissolution. 
 Specifically\, acquisitions intensify men’s tendency to form ties with oth
 er men. In contrast\, women are more likely to preserve ties with other wo
 men\, with all-women dyads exhibiting greater resilience and lower dissolu
 tion rates than mixed-gender or all-men dyads. This dynamic results in ric
 her resource-sharing networks for women\, shielding them from the adverse 
 effects of organizational disruption. These results highlight how women’s 
 networks adapt to uncertainty\, fostering mutual support during turbulent 
 times. By demonstrating how gendered network dynamics evolve in response t
 o disruptions\, this study contributes to scholarship on gender inequality
 \, network resilience\, and the conditions under which homophilous ties ca
 n mitigate disparities.\n
