The Only Girl in the Room

The Only Girl In The Room humorously wrestles with one small town girl's desire for success, the reality of the business world for women and how we need to make changes for the future health of our culture and economy to allow room for BOTH men and women, in the same room, at the same table, side by side.The reflections shared in this book are a compilation of the often comical observations, situations and tensions Nancy experienced in her own up and down business career - specifically around the myriad of ideas imprinted from her mother's unrealized ambitions, the ideas she had been bathed in from the 60's and 70's mass media, ideas picked up from the culture-at-large and ideas she formulated based on her own personal ambitions about what "a woman's business career should and would look like starting out in 1981."
