Library Journal Review

This well-researched, comprehensive study, covering women managers in 21 countries on four continents, has long been needed. The editors, both academics and writers, present interviews with women managers working within their own countries, as well as those working across national borders; the interviews provide firsthand information about the changing nature of the global economy and the role of women managers in it. Women represent over 50 percent of the world's population, yet even in the United States, where 46 percent of the work force are female, only three percent of the senior executives are women. This hard-hitting book asks whether competitive firms can afford to continue to exclude half the available talent pool. Supportive statistical data and extensive references are included. A major resource and essential purchase for all business and women's studies collections. Highly recommended.-- Nancy Myers, Univ. of South Dakota Lib., Vermillion (c) Copyright 2010.
