A personal look into the issues of race and gender in corporate America from the perspective of the author. This description may be from another edition of this product.
This book tells of my personal, 28 year journey in Corporate America from Los Angeles to Atlanta to Chicago and back to Atlanta. In each professional position, I was the first African American hired, and I experienced the type of racism and sexism during the 60's, 70's, and 80's that, unfortunately, many women and minorities still experience today.My book deals with the situations in which a single woman finds herself, the changes that a married woman must deal with, and the challenges of the working and traveling mother.I am extremely proud of this, my first book, because it won for me the Georgia Author of the Year in the area of Nonfiction. My publisher was so pleased that I was asked to write a sequel detailing how I overcame the racism and sexism. That sequel was Beyond Limitations, and it is based on self-esteem, success, and sustenance.I have discovered that women and minorities easily identify with the experiences I discuss, but white males have said that the book has helped them to understand what women and minorities have to contend with. If the book makes them better managers and coworkers, I am grateful.
