  This book examines differences in the achievements of men and women. Based on data from interviews with men and women in five large companies, it looks at the historical, structural and psychological factors which affect women's approaches and attitudes to careers and advancement. The results of the study show that although women continue to be concentrated in certain sectors and industries, and relatively few manage to advance up the corporate ladder, the future does look more promising: more educated women are moving into middle management and are applying pressure to gain executive positions.
