Austin argues in this bold book that the reason only ten percent of top-level managerial or professional positions are held by women is the self-imposed psychological glass ceiling that influences every decision women make in their lives. She gives readers eight life-defining choices that determine their ultimate level of accomplishment.Related books and articles at Questia
