Counselors

Meet eighteen extraordinary women of achievement, including Supreme Court justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sandra Day O'Connor, former Attorney General Janet Reno, former U.S. Representative Patricia Schroeder, and Elaine Jones, president of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. In a collection of terrifically inspiring professional histories, these accomplished women share the same sort of frank advice and hard-won wisdom a mentor might offer a protege who is starting out in a legal or business career. Each profile addresses a specific issue of relevance to working women, including career philosophy and enhancement, the value of role models, how to deal with institutional gender bias, racial prejudice, and the challenges of integrating family life with work. Learn about the choices, both personal and professional, that these women of excellence have made in order to arrive at the top in fields that have long been male-dominated.Running Press Staff is the author of 'Counselors' with ISBN 9780762415397 and ISBN 0762415398.
