| Mikaelian offers a revealing look at female pioneers through profiles of 75 who have broken through the so-called glass ceiling in nearly every field of corporate endeavor. The women include Mary Jean Connors, Knight Ridder senior vice president; Rebecca Graham Paul, president and chief executive office of Georgia Lottery Corporation; Veronica Williams, Founder and President of ACT, Inc., and Phyllis J. Campbell, president of U.S. Bank Washington. "As the last generation that faced a male-dominated workforce," Mikaelian concludes, "their lives are a record of that time and an inspiration to anyone who is building a career." – |
