- Description
- The authors endeavoured to find out by conducting in a research study on how women from various racial and ethnic backgrounds compare and contrast the attributes associated with existing power paradigms (traditional, empowerment, personal authority) with an alternate model of power - reciprocal empowerment. The book examines women's attitudes toward power in several social forums, home, job, religion, politics, and society in general. As women continue to assume positions of social leadership in increasing numbers, the dynamics of the social construction of power need to be examined.
