As the new millennium dawns, it's hard to believe that women' s lack of confidence and unreasonable performance standards are issues we struggle with, but until we have a better understanding of ourselves and of the business world, fulfillment and monetary rewards will elude us. This book was written out of sheer frustration. I have followed the women's movement for a long time, and read many excellent publications on the subject. At the same time, it is obvious that the women who need this information the most are not getting it. For whatever reason, I see the concepts in the book clearly, and hope to clarify them for other women.
Small adjustments can make a big difference.
I taught high school Home Economics during my first five years out of college. In 1977, I left teaching and began a career in corporate sales. At that point, I began to work alongside men. This has exposed me to not only the organizations for which I worked, but also to hundreds of others. I have seen the same kinds of patterns everywhere.
