Clarion Review Dr. James's relevant and useful research on women in
leadership roles is thoroughly supported. The Gap: A Scholarly
Perspective of Executive Women, by Dr. Wendy James, is a detailed
research study that examines how women experience the intersection
of career, marriage, and family. This topic is incredibly relevant:
as the number of women in leadership roles grows, so too does the
interest in understanding the effects of their professional
success. Dr. James examines previous research theories (such as
spillover theory) and societal patterns (such as the rise of
dual-income families), and she examines interviewees' responses
through these lenses. Dr. James shares six themes about executive
women's lives that were revealed through her research, one being
that careers have a positive influence on self, marriage, and
children. These themes overturn the "assumption of conflict" that
forms the basis for preceding theories-and make the results of the
research all the more important. The participant interview
transcripts in the appendix are the most engaging part of the text
for nonacademic readers. Executive women themselves will find the
final chapter, "Summary, Conclusions, and Recommendations," most
relevant. Melissa Wuske
This book contains real stories and allusions to common fairy tales
we know from our childhood. It speaks of dreams, passions, seeking
and believing in "living happily ever after." As Freud used common
Greek tragedies as themes for basic psychological behaviors, this
is based on universally known fairy tales. It addresses
relationships, emotions, fears, sex and love in themes that apply
to women, regardless of age. The chapters are not the advice one
might receive from a neighbor, girlfriend or life coach, although
it reads as such, but is based upon years of education and
research.
