  • 1.  Women and minorities who "made it"

    Posted 07-31-2007 15:11
    Dear Colleagues:

    I am looking for research on women and racial minorities who have "made it"
    and then present obstacles to future generations of women and minorities.

    Any leads would be very much appreciated.

    Dear Colleagues:

    Thanks to everyone who responded to my query. I have compiled a list of
    what I received, below. I would add that my find has been gender oriented
    with almost nothing on race/ethnicity. The term "queen bee syndrome"
    reflects this.
