Through vivid, often deeply moving first-person accounts, Our Separate Ways provides the first in-depth look at the formative experiences--from childhood through early career development--behind today's female executives. While most people assume that the career paths of black women are similar to those of white women or of black men, this groundbreaking book--based on a seven-year research effort that compared and contrasted the professional experiences of black and white female managers--reveals that black women have charted a unique course on their journey up the corporate ladder. Delving beyond the impact of gender and race to the role that class plays in corporate America, this powerful book illuminates how understanding diversity in all its dimensions can make the workplace a better and more effective environment for everyone.
