�Cornelia van der Ziel, M.D., OB/GYN, FACOG, Harvard University
Medical School Clinical Instructor Favoring neither the
�in-your-face� aggressive tactics of the
�break-through-the-glass-ceiling� school of thought, nor the
�sugar-and-spice-and-everything-nice� little-girl approach,
Climbing the Corporate Ladder in High Heels shows women how to be
outstandingly successful and personally actualized without
becoming just like men. There are 63 million working women in
America, but only nine are top company CEOs. While women make up
nearly 50 percent of the workforce, working women perform 90
percent of household and childcare duties. Women are left
wondering, �Do I have to make a choice between my career or my
life?� This book answers that question. You can have it all�just
not all at once. Climbing the Corporate Ladder in High Heels is
the first book to teach women: � How to climb the corporate ladder
and have fun doing it � How to use 12 of their natural roles and
talents to advance in Corporate America � How to thrive in a
downsizing and outsourcing global economy � How to achieve both a
rewarding career and a fulfilling life � What to do when they hit
the glass ceiling From the Queen of England to the founders of
