Paperback. Condición: Good. Women Kick Ass Men still think they rule the world. Not anymore. Women have the power-right now-to harness their natural abilities and strengths, and to dominate in business. Thousands of books, articles, seminars, and programs push women to be empowered, to take charge, and to own their careers. It isn't working. Even with equal levels of education and experience and no matter what career they've chosen, women fail to make the same progress in their jobs as their male counterparts do, and that phenomenon is repeated all the way through the leadership pipeline. The number of women shrinks by half by the middle-management level, and dwindles to a fragment when it comes to promotion to the C-suite. Only 6.4% of the Fortune 500 have female CEOs. Women get fired, get discouraged and quit, or settle on jobs for which they are overqualified. Women still receive less pay than men for the same job and the same work. Men dominate the business world and wield their influence and power to perpetuate this cycle, secure in the belief that this is the natural order of society. Smashing Glass & Kicking Ass isn't about empowering you, it's about showing you that you already have all the power.

Paperback. Condición: Fair. One of Tennessee Williams' most popular plays in a special annotated edition for school and college students. The Glass Menagerie, Tennessee Williams' first great popular success and an autobiographical play about his mother and sister, launched the brilliant and controversial career of this ground-breaking American playwright.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Parsons' research-based book, Fresh Insights to END the Glass Ceiling, reveals the true reasons why the glass ceiling exists and it is not what most people think. That is why today's solutions are not working. Equipped with the new insights in this book, we can at last make the glass ceiling a thing of the past. Most companies have positive intent and are making significant investments in initiatives to accelerate promotional opportunities for women. Yet, progress has stalled. Even though it has been nearly four decades since the Pregnancy Act of 1978 went into effect, only 5.8% of CEOs of Fortune 500s are women and only about 14% serve as corporate executives. Meanwhile, nearly 60% of today's college graduates are women. These numbers simply do not add up. Parsons explains in this new book that if we stay on the current trajectory, it will take over 400 years for women to attain just 50% of the CEO positions of Fortune 500s. Clearly, this is not acceptable. From a bottom line perspective, a study conducted by the Peterson Institute for Global Economics of 22,000 organizations found that companies that had at least 30% of senior leaders as women had 15% increased profitability. So, the need to bring the glass ceiling down swiftly is more than a gender issue, it is a bottom line business success issue. Fresh Insights to End the Glass Ceiling answers these elusive questions: Are there real gender differences in leadership traits?What are the real root causes of the glass ceiling?How have some women made it to the top?Who owns the problem?What are the solutions? What actions should organizations and women take to end the glass ceiling phenomena? With quizzes to test knowledge about the glass ceiling, and an eye toward breaking the long-held myths about women in leadership, Parsons shares both new research and new solutions. It includes action plans for c-suite/executives, interest groups, talent-development professionals and individuals (both women and men) so that the glass ceiling may be shattered once and for all.…

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Privilege Through the Looking-Glass, Second Edition is a revised and expanded collection of essays that explore privilege and status characteristics in daily life. This collection seeks to make visible that which is often invisible. It seeks to sensitize us to things we have been taught not to see. Privilege, power, oppression, and domination operate in complex and insidious ways, impacting groups and individuals. And yet, these forces that affect our lives so deeply seem to at once operate in plain sight and lurk in the shadows, making them difficult to discern. Like water to a fish, environments are nearly impossible to perceive when we are immersed in them. This book attempts to expose our environments. With engaging and powerful writing, the contributors share their personal stories as a means of connecting the personal and the public. This volume applies an intersectional perspective to explore how race, class, gender, sexuality, education, and ableness converge, creating the basis for privilege and oppression. Privilege Through the Looking-Glass encourages readers to engage in self and social reflection, and can be used in a range of courses in sociology, social work, communication, education, gender studies, and African American studies. Each chapter includes discussion questions and/or activities for further engagement.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. It's the winter of 1860 when Richard Allen, a young curate, travels to a small hamlet outside Hereford to take up his first position. It's in this quiet place of wind and trees, birds and water that Richard is to fall passionately in love - but he cannot find fulfilment, for his lover is Susannah Beddoes, the wife of the vicar of his new parish. As Richard's feelings challenge him to his core, he develops a strange relationship with another woman, the solitary and eccentric Edith Clare. Against the backdrop of immense social and industrial change, the consequences of Richard and Susannah's affair are dramatic as they - as well as Oliver Beddoes - grapple with doubt and what it means to lose faith when the great certainties are in question. And throughout it all, the crossing-keeper's daughter Alice Birley - an observer of incidents and events she does not fully understand - has her own part to play. …
