Description: Our Separate Ways by Ella Bell Smith, Stella M. Nkomo Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Addressing gender alone wont help women rise to the top.Although women come from widely diverse backgrounds, they share a common assumption upon entering the workforce: I have a chance. Along the way, however, they discover that people question their authority, challenge their intelligence, and discount their ideas. And while gender is a common denominator among these women, race and class are often wedges between them.In Our Separate Ways, Ella Bell Smith and Stella M. Nkomo take an unflinching look at the surprising differences between Black and White womens trials and triumphs on their way to the top. Based on groundbreaking research, the book compares and contrasts the experiences of 120 Black and White female managers in America. Powerful stories bring to life the womens often difficult journeys from childhood to professional success, highlighting the roles that gender, race, and class played in their development.Now with an updated preface and epilogue, the book provides candid discussions of the continuing challenge of achieving race and gender equality in the midst of deep political and ideological divides. Youll discover how White women have - perhaps unwittingly - aligned themselves more often with White men than with Black women and how systemic racism and biases still exist in organisations. But youll also learn what to do to leverage the talents of all women and eliminate systemic racism for good.Whether you lead an organisation or simply want to better understand the dynamics at play in business today, youll discover provocative ideas for creating a better workplace and encouraging equality for everyone.
