This volume contains reprints of nine articles on women in business originally published between 1990 and 2005 in the Harvard Business Review. It opens with a discussion of the factors (such as family responsibilities) that cause many women to temporarily leave their careers and the obstacles they face when returning to work. Other topics include (for example) how incremental changes can break down entrenched organizational gender bias, and how the managerial styles of women tend to differ from those of their male counterparts.
