Description

More than fifty years after the beginning of the Women’s Movement and forty years after passage of Title IX, women are still not “making it” in traditionally male careers. Women start their careers on parity with men but usually end them far earlier, having achieved less status, lower compensation, and less satisfaction than men. Breaking Through Bias explains that it’s the stereotypes about women, men, work, leadership, and family that hold women back, and it presents an integrated set of communication techniques that women can use to keep away from the discriminatory consequences of these stereotypes. Women define career success in all kinds of ways. But whatever a woman’s personal definition, if she is in a traditionally male-dominated career–virtually all high status, highly compensated fields–her career is at risk as a result of pervasive gender stereotypes. This highly practical book makes clear that women don’t want to change who they’re to reach their chosen careers, and they certainly don’t want to act more like men. Women do, alternatively, want to be attuned to the negative gender stereotypes that surround them; they want to anticipate the biases these stereotypes foster, and they want to manage the impressions they make to keep away from or overcome these biases.  Based on the authors’ personal experiences as business leaders and practicing attorneys, involvement in compensation and hiring decisions, extensive mentoring activities, and a large number of scientific and academic studies, Breaking Through Bias presents unique, practical, and effective advice about how women can at last break through gender bias in the workplace and win at the career advancement game.
