Description
How do gender inequalities translate at the top of politics and business?
Is the gender gap eliminated for the most influential players in industrial democratic society?
Drawing on a sample from no less than 27 countries, a convincing and highly original picture is constructed that informs readers of career paths, values, social networks and gender battles for women elites. This informed and compelling analysis examines the demographic characteristics, family circumstances and career paths of a group of elite women. The book is noteworthy for being one of the first empirically based studies of women elites.
