Like Mother_Like Daughter

Women are encouraged to believe that they can occupy top jobs in society by the example of other women thriving in their careers. Who better to be a role model for career success than your mother? Paradoxically this book shows that having a mother as a role model even for graduates of top universities does not predict daughters progressing in their own careers. Based on a large cross-generational qualitative sample this book offers a timely and original perspective on the debate about gender equality in leadership positions.
