Description

Book Synopsis
Women are encouraged to believe that they can occupy top jobs in society by the example of other women thriving in their careers. This book shows that having a mother as a role model does not predict daughters progressing in their own careers. It offers a timely and original perspective on the debate about gender equality in leadership positions.

"Jill Armstrong's study about pairs of mothers and daughters shines light on the intimate and private relations between such women. It illustrates the quiet ambitions of both generations, in an extremely approachable way." Miriam David, University College London
"A fascinating study on change and continuity in intergenerational gender relations. This is a must read!" Elisabeth Kelan, Cranfield School of Management, Cranfield University
