Women, Power, and Ethnicity

Women, Power, and Ethnicity: Working Toward Reciprocal Empowerment examines women's attitudes toward power in several social forums—home, job, religion, politics, and society in general. Have women adopted traditionally male patterns of behavior in an effort to gain and maintain power in business, industry, politics, academics, etc.? And if not, what kind of power are women practicing? This book endeavors to find out, conducting a research study to learn how women from various racial and ethnic backgrounds compare and contrast the attributes associated with existing power paradigms (traditional, empowerment, personal authority) with an alternate model of power—reciprocal empowerment.
