Based on the ground-breaking three-year study of female executives that brought the glass ceiling to national attention, this book examines the factors that determine success or derailment in the corporate environment, reveals how the executive environment is different for women, and looks at the new obstacles along the road to the top. Invaluable advice is provided from the female executives themselves on learning the ropes in a company, getting the right kind of support, and integrating work and life, as well as tips from those higher up the ladder - savvy insiders - on how these women are perceived within the company. This edition also highlights new research and emphasizes what has changed with the creation of the government's 1991 Glass Ceiling Initiative and the passage of the 1991 Civil Rights Act.
Vital reading for every woman in business and for every employer and manager now responsible for the removal of any barriers to her advancement, this book explodes long-held myths and addresses such important questions as:
Do women have what it takes for senior management in a large corporation?
Does a new brand of discrimination stop them cold at the top floor?
What can companies do to enhance the success of women in their organizations?
Is it just a matter of time before a new generation of women breaks through the glass ceiling?

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
