Summary: Well Done, and RIGHT ON TIME!
Comment: Bravo...Being a Black woman with a Civil Engineering Degree from an Ivy League University, currently working in Construction Management, this book tells the story of "how it is". To me it is fusion of African American Studies, and Woman's Studies with a focus on the African American woman using the White woman as a control subject. I've seen the examples given in the book played out before me in my own career.

To the authors: well done thank you for looking into a subject that society choses to ignore.

Summary: Powerful, Insightful and Startling Insights
Comment: Once you start reading about these women's childhoods, it is hard to put down the book. You will find your own story amongst the women in this book. While it is sometimes heartwrenching, it is nevertheless hopeful. Every woman who has or is about to work in corporate America ought to read this book. I would also say buy one for your manager. The books says the things perhaps a lot of women executives have not been able to share. Professors Bell and Nkomo are to be commended for their scholarship and clear writing.

Summary: Blends in-depth case histories with profiles of insights
Comment: Our Separate Ways examines differences between black and white women's trials and triumphs as they rose in the business world; but it's much more than an account of experiences. Eight years of research contributed to and formed the foundation for this coverage, which blends in-depth case histories with profiles of insights gained on race, gender, and economics. Our Separate Ways is an invaluable title.
