I got the ISBNs here: http://www.openisbn.com/isbn/97806153... This seems to be a database and a price-comparison site, and doesn't look as if it actually sells the books, so I'm hoping it's okay.
The baby boomer women of the ’60s and ’70s were corporate trailblazers. Never in history had so many educated, ambitious women entered the workplace, planning on corporate careers in addition to or instead of family life. Yet today, their extraordinary accomplishments have largely been forgotten. This charmingly illustrated book is a short, insightful look at these remarkable women – the challenges they faced, their triumphs, and the lessons they learned. The situations described in the book will make women in their 40s, 50s and 60s cringe, chuckle and sigh, because all of them are true, given to the author through countless interviews. Yet the situations are leavened by the illustrations, making this book a delightful read.
Many women have told the author that they feel vindicated reading the book, because their struggle has been recognized and chronicled for future generations. It is a “must read” not only for the trailblazers but for the women who have and will benefit from their hard work.
