Strategies. London, UK: Routledge. 260 pages.
WomenPreneurs: 21st Century Success Strategies, will appeal to two groups
of interested readers. The first consists of higher education faculty
teaching courses in management, entrepreneurship and women’s studies and
directors of professional development workshops interested in acquiring a
supplemental readings book. The second consists of women in the workplace,
those contemplating entry, parents who want to provide daughters with the
best guidance as well as men and significant others who want those they
love to have a safer navigational journey and recognize that the work
environment they will enter is not a level playing field. Most of all, the
book has valuable lessons and examples for those entering, progressing and
advancing in today’s organizations marked by globalization, technology and
lattice type structures. For these people, the book will serve as a
valuable resource and guide.

assignments in global and diverse environments are vital to success. It
is a salute and embracement of men and women in organizations who
understand the value added dimensions of cultivating truly diverse work
environments and valuing all contributions whether made by women or men.
The Heart, spirit and value of WomenPreneurs is in the acknowledging the
accomplishments of those women who have made it irrespective of the
roadblocks along the way. It is a celebration of the 21st Century Success
of Women. And for women not yet in the workforce it provides a map to
interpret the territory and paths to building the savvy to avoid the
potholes. Even the darkest moments along the way ultimately give way for
those who stand up to a brighter future.
In the next century there will be new challenges—but by whetting the tools
offered in this book and through the inspiration shared by successful
women the new paths will be easier.
