Politicians continually tell us that anyone can get ahead. But is that really true? This important best-selling book takes readers behind the closed doors of elite employers to reveal how class affects who gets to the top. Friedman and Laurison show that a powerful ‘class pay gap’ exists in Britain’s elite occupations. Even when those from working-class backgrounds make it into prestigious jobs, they earn, on average, 16% less than colleagues from privileged backgrounds. But why is this the case? . Drawing on 175 interviews across four case studies - television, accountancy, architecture, and acting – they explore the complex barriers facing the upwardly mobile. This is a rich, ambitious book that demands we take seriously not just the glass but also the class ceiling.

Why is it getting harder to secure a job that matches our qualifications, buy a home of our own and achieve financial stability? Underprivileged people have always faced barriers, but people from middle-income families are increasingly more likely to slide down the social scale than climb up. Duncan Exley, former Director of the Equality Trust, draws on expert research and real life experiences – including from an actor, a politician, a billionaire entrepreneur and a surgeon – to issue a wake-up call to break through segregated opportunity. He offers a manifesto to reboot our prospects and benefit all.

This examination of the role of gender stereotyping in media coverage of executive elections uses nine case studies from around the world to provide a unique comparative perspective. In recent years, more and more high-profile women candidates have been running for executive office in democracies all around the world. Cracking the Highest Glass Ceiling: A Global Comparison of Women's Campaigns for Executive Office is the first study to undertake an international comparison of women's campaigns for highest office and to identify the commonalities among them. For example, women candidates often begin as front-runners as the idea of a woman president captures the public imagination, followed by a decline in popularity as stereotypes and gendered media coverage kick in to erode the woman's perceived credibility as a national leader. On the basis of nine international case studies of recent campaigns written by thirteen country specialists, the volume develops an overarching framework which explores how gender stereotypes shape the course and outcome of women's campaigns in the male-dominated worlds of executive elections in North America, South America, Europe, Africa, and Australasia. This comparative approach allows the authors to discriminate between the contingent effects of a particular candidate or national culture and the universal operation of gender stereotyping. Case studies include the campaigns for executive office of Hillary Rodham Clinton (United States, 2008), Sarah Palin (United States, 2008), Angela Merkel (Germany, 2005 and 2009), Ségolène Royal (France, 2007), Helen Clark (New Zealand, 1996-2008), Cristina Fernández de Kirchner (Argentina, 2007), Michelle Bachelet (Chile, 2006), Ellen Johnson Sirleaf (Liberia, 2005), and Irene Sáez (Venezuela, 1998).

According to Oxford Dictionary, “Glass-Ceiling is an unacknowledged barrier to advancement in a profession, especially affecting women and members of minorities.” It remains the invisible barrier which resists the efforts of women to reach the top level. The term became recurrent in late 70's and early 80's as many women entered the workforce and found themselves unable to advance beyond a certain level of management. This book is dedicated to unsung women who have faced or are facing a constant battle daily to register their existence and fulfill their dreams.

There was no doubt that Agnes Edwards had ambition. It stemmed from the self-confidence she had gained during her university years and from being in the first generation of women to vote. Her professors at the University of California Berkeley had encouraged her to pursue a career in publishing or teaching. What's more, she knew she could support herself with her secretarial skills and job experience. So it was, in the fall of 1922, that Agnes left her home in California and journeyed to Boston. Through three hundred letters, she tells the story of her ambition to become an editor and writer at Boston's prestigious Atlantic Monthly Press, along with the challenges she faced in finding her way in the male-dominated field of book publishing. Both triumphs and disappointments awaited her in the city, as well as an unexpected romance. Going abroad in 1925, she interviewed several authors, including A. A. Milne, creator of Winnie the Pooh. An entertaining record of one woman's life through the early- to mid-1920s, Boston Glass Ceiling provides a personal and detailed glimpse into Boston at that time and offers keen insight into the publishing world from a woman's perspective.

The book emphasises on the oppression, marginalization, exploitation, segregation, and discrimination which women are subjected to from time immemorial. Gender is a social construct. The abuse of women is not only material reality, originating in economic conditions but also a psychological phenomenon—how men and women perceive one another. This anthology contains 24 scholarly papers that concern with theoretical issues and historical perspectives, with spatial metaphors, discourse analysis, challenges of women in the professional and domestic sphere, and various arenas. Compromise, rebellion, madness are some of the strategies contrived by women to defend and express themselves. The present book explores multifarious facets as Women Empowerment, Transculturation, Me Too, Women for Women, Women Education, Women and Cinema, Marginalised Women, Working Women, Gender Discrimination, Feminism, Women's Emancipation and Post Modernism. The papers included in this volume will provide in-depth insight into the subject and prove valuable to research scholars, teachers, academicians, and those interested in Gender Studies.
