Business consultants and husband and wife team Cronin and Fine address women's barriers in the workplace by examining the corporate system--a social model in which men thrive but which offers many paradoxes for women, such as the idea that if a woman is a team player she will not be recognized for her individual work, but if she seeks recognition, she is not a team player. Cronin and Fine list several of these paradoxes and conclude that the corporate system must change before women will be on equal footing in that world. They offer a way for that change to happen in their last chapter, which illustrates a gender neutral approach. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
