– AND BREAK THE GLASS CEILING
Are you one of the many women who have overpaid their dues in low-paying, low-status jobs as receptionists, clerks, and personal assistants? Were you not considered for a promotion you thought you had earned? And do you wonder “What am I doing wrong?”
Designed to help women succeed in business, How Woman Can Advance in Business analyzes the tradition of corporate gamesmanship in business.
