Up-beat, pragmatic, and chock full of advice, What Works for Women
at Work is an indispensable guide for working women. An essential
resource for any working woman, What Works for Women at Work is a
comprehensive and insightful guide for mastering office politics as
a woman. Authored by Joan C. Williams, one of the nation's
most-cited experts on women and work, and her daughter, writer
Rachel Dempsey, this unique book offers a multi-generational
perspective into the realities of today's workplace. Often women
receive messages that they have only themselves to blame for
failing to get ahead-Negotiate more! Stop being such a wimp! Stop
being such a witch! What Works for Women at Work tells women it's
not their fault. The simple fact is that office politics often
benefits men over women. Based on interviews with 127 successful
working women, over half of them women of color, What Works for
Women at Work presents a toolkit for getting ahead in today's
workplace. Distilling over 35 years of research, Williams and
Dempsey offer four crisp patterns that affect working women:
Prove-It-Again!, the Tightrope, the Maternal Wall, and the Tug of
War. Each represents different challenges and requires different
strategies-which is why women need to be savvier than men to
survive and thrive in high-powered careers. Williams and Dempsey's
analysis of working women is nuanced and in-depth, going far beyond
the traditional cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all approaches of most
career guides for women. Throughout the book, they weave real-life
anecdotes from the women they interviewed, along with quick kernels
of advice like a "New Girl Action Plan," ways to "Take Care of
Yourself", and even "Comeback Lines" for dealing with sexual
harassment and other difficult situations.

Nachdem in zwei bundesweiten Studien der Stand der Umwelterziehung
im allgemeinbildenden Schulwesen untersucht worden war (Eulefeld,
Bolscho, Rost & Seybold, 1988; Eulefeld, Bolscho, Rode, Rost
& Seybold, 1993), fand im Auftrag des Bundesministers fur
Bildung und Forschung im Jahr 1996 eine dritte bundesweite Studie
zur Umwelterziehung statt, bei der es nicht nur um eine
Bestandsaufnahme, sondern auch um eine Analyse der moeglichen
Wirkungen von Umwelterziehung auf Seiten der Schuler ging. Welche
Wirkungen kann man von Schule erwarten bzw. im Rahmen einer
Fragebogenerhebung auch kurzfristig messen? Der Titel des
vorliegen- den Bandes suggeriert, dass der padagogische Anspruch
von Umwelterzie- hung und ihre messbare Wirksamkeit auseinander
klaffen. Man kann sicher- lich nicht erwarten, dass schulische
Umwelterziehung direkt das Handeln der Schuler in einer messbaren
Weise beeinflusst. Das ware auch wohl das pada- gogisch falsche
Ziel. So wunschenswert umweltgerechtes Verhalten und Handeln auch
ist, Schule kann und darf nicht das Ziel haben, bestimmte kon-
krete Verhaltensweisen beim Schuler hervorzurufen oder auszuloesen.
Schule kann aber die Voraussetzungen vermitteln, die gegeben sein
mussen, damit Schuler sich umweltbewusst verhalten. Aus diesem
Grund haben wir in der Studie versucht, bestimmte Merkmale
schulischer Umwelterziehung mit den motivationalen Voraussetzungen
von Umwelthandeln in Verbindung zu brin- gen. Dabei haben wir den
normalen Umweltunterricht untersucht, wie auch Schulklassen aus
Schulen, in denen z. B. infolge ihrer Einbindung in Modell-
versuchsprogramme besonderes Augenmerk auf Umweltbildung gelegt
wurde. Der vorliegende Bericht gibt detaillierte Auskunft uber die
Ergebnisse und zeigt auch, wo es aufgrund der Anlage der Studie
schwer war, erwartete Wirkungen nachzuweisen.
