It examines the situation of women managers in the area of public service as well as the financial, business, and banking sectors, while providing valuable figures and statistical information. Useful career strategies are offered including mentoring, networking, and career tracking approaches. This important study provides a vivid photograph of national and international efforts to improve gender equality in management.</p>
