Along the way, however, they discover that people question their authority, challenge their intelligence, and discount their ideas. And while gender is a common denominator among these women, race and class are often wedges between them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eOur Separate Ways\u003c\/i\u003e, Ella Bell Smith and Stella M. Nkomo take an unflinching look at the surprising differences between Black and White women's trials and triumphs on their way to the top. Based on groundbreaking research, the book compares and contrasts the experiences of 120 Black and White female managers in America. Powerful stories bring to life the women's often difficult journeys from childhood to professional success, highlighting the roles that gender, race, and class played in their development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNow with an updated preface and epilogue, the book provides candid discussions of the continuing challenge of achieving race and gender equality in the midst of deep political and ideological divides. You'll discover how White women have - perhaps unwittingly - aligned themselves more often with White men than with Black women and how systemic racism and biases still exist in organisations. But you'll also learn what to do to leverage the talents of all women and eliminate systemic racism for good.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you lead an organisation or simply want to better understand the dynamics at play in business today, you'll discover provocative ideas for creating a better workplace and encouraging equality for everyone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46722380398828,"sku":"9781647821371","price":59.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/19032253482774.jpg?v=1754640238"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/stella-m-nkomo.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
