You will be judged by your performance but how you look will also affect your grade. And don't forget the glass ceiling! It's still there and you will bump against it. Woman on Top answers all your questions, deals with every issue you've ever had to grapple with -- and makes you laugh along the way. It is the one book every working woman will want to keep in her handbag.
