Summary
Throughout history, being female defined a woman's fate. Now, women's careers rival men's. But while these changes are revolutionary, their impact is unequal: in reality, the 'sisterhood' of working women is deeply divided. Since the groundbreaking 1960s, working women have drifted further apart. This title explores the topic of women in the workplace.
