Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Blotnick, a Forbes columnist and author of The Corporate Steeplechase, bases this book on a study of 2100 career women over a 25-year period. She concludes that the happiest women are those "with enduring intimacy at home and moderate, rather than high, career expectations," PW wrote.

Srully Blotnick's column disappeared from Forbes after years and years when it turned out that his vast longitudinal data base of executive career patterns was non-existant. The business writing equivalent of Carlos Castenada!
