This perceptive and practical guide explores the growing phenomenon of successful women serving as mentors to other women in academia or in professional careers. In this unprecedented handbook, the team of coeditors and contributors show the immeasurable impact of women helping women via a method that has become a "hot-button" topic nationwide—mentoring. In A Handbook for Women Mentors: Transcending Barriers of Stereotype, Race, and Ethnicity, an expert author team—all experienced mentors—provide specific strategies for women mentoring women, showing how mentoring relationships benefit individuals, women as a group, and the nation as a whole. Discussions include ongoing challenges—and potential pitfalls—for women confronting obstacles in their education and professional careers, with special attention to minority women—whether it is a mother of four leading a university department, an African American woman working in engineering, or a Latina female advancing in the field of math.
