Shattered, Cracked, or Firmly Intact?: Women and the Executive Glass Ceiling Worldwide

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In the past 50 years, fewer than eighty women worldwide have attained the office of prime minister or president. In 2010, women held just seventeen of the world's 252 executive posts - slightly less than seven percent. In Shattered, Cracked, or Firmly Intact?, Farida Jalalzai explores the patterns of women executives' paths, powers, and potential impacts, examining the global and national mechanisms that prevent women from attaining executive office.
