The book is noteworthy for being one of the first empirically based studies of women elites.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on a sample from no less than 27 countries, a convincing and highly original picture is constructed that informs readers of career paths, values, social networks and gender battles for women elites.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCo-ordinated by Mino Vianello and Gwen Moore, the research fills in a huge gap about how power actually operates in industrial-democratic societies.
