Description: In this unprecedented handbook, the team of coeditors and contributors show the immeasurable impact of women helping women via a method that has become a “hot-button” topic nationwide—mentoring.

In A Handbook for Women Mentors: Transcending Barriers of Stereotype, Race, and Ethnicity, an expert author team—all experienced mentors—provide specific strategies for women mentoring women, showing how mentoring relationships benefit individuals, women as a group, and the nation as a whole. Discussions include ongoing challenges—and potential pitfalls—for women confronting obstacles in their education and professional careers, with special attention to minority women—whether it is a mother of four leading a university department, an African American woman working in engineering, or a Latina female advancing in the field of math.
Title Features:
  • Contributors are internationally distinguished scholars from psychology and anthropology who have served as role models and women mentors to countless mentees
  • Helpful indexes for gender, racial, ethnic, and religious/spiritual issues
