The Woman Advocate is by women advocates for woman advocates. It contains first-hand accounts by successful women lawyers of their experiences at all stages of career development. In the four parts of the book--- Where We Are; How We Got There; What Our Environment Is Like; and Where We're Going---the contributors provide reflections, advice, guidance, and, of course, "war stories" in lively, entertaining and insightful prose. From the perception of women and its effect on their ability to succeed, to building a book of business, to choosing a career path, and to looking at what lies ahead, The Woman Advocate will help you improve your skills and gain greater control over your professional life.
