The Last Male Bastion
The title of this book is a proper summation of its contents. While women
have made great inroads in other areas of power and leadership, for instance
politics, they are still almost shut out of the boardroom of public companies
in the United States. Those who reach CEO status often find their tenure
short and securing another position of equal authority very difficult. This title
profiles 21 women CEOs, examines how they got there, and the reasons for
their success that may serve as lessons for other women who aspire to powerful
positions.
