Climbing the Ladder: How to be a Woman Manager

Climbing the Ladder (1986) looks at the fundamentals for women breaking the glass ceiling, examining the barriers to progress and the ways to success. It focuses on the barriers placed by the company itself (its history, structure and attitudes); by men both in the office and in private life; and by the women themselves – self-confidence, for example. It looks at career planning and home life management, and draws out useful insights into the possibilities of progress.
