Have Courage, Work Hard: Quotations on Work and Success from the First Women of Business

Have Courage, Work Hard is a collection of more than 200 quotations on business, management, and life, all from a woman's perspective. The collection is drawn from non-traditional sources: fifty-six women who were managers, executives and entrepreneurs before the women's movement of the 1970s. A biographical sketch of each woman provides context for her comments. The insights, observations, and lessons gathered in their long careers (which averaged 40 years a piece) range from witty to inspirational. Readers will observe just how much--or how little--business and women's roles in it have changed in the last 100 years. Quotations are grouped by topic and indexed by subject and name for easy access.
