Considers the effects on women of rejection by business and society. Recommends changes both in personal outlooks and in business society cultures. Male dominance that prevents progress for women in organizations can lead to their taking up business ownership in their own right. Discontinuous changes are foreseen: successful accomplishment in this environment requires that positive learning attitudes are adopted alongside appropriate training to cope with new circumstances. Provides examples and case studies illustrating how women acquire confidence to make their way in a manmade world. Discusses future work patterns and their effects on business and society. Suggests changing roles for the sexes with emphasis on women′s and men′s joint contribution to an improved culture and economy.
