Book excerpt: There is a shortage of research examining the workplace experiences of African American millennial women and understanding the challenges faced in the advancement of their careers. This study investigated the role of age, race, and gender in the career advancement of African American millennial women (AAMW) and identified barriers affecting their career growth by using a qualitative phenomenological approach. The study used Intersectionality, Self-Efficacy, and Critical Race theories to examine the perspectives of AAMW and systemic barriers faced when seeking to advance their careers. The research questions of this phenomenological research study were focused on the lived experiences of African American millennial women in their childhood, educational, and workplace experiences. Data were collected from nine African American women, who identify as millennials born between 1980 and 1995, employed in the private sector in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area. The study findings revealed that most participants believed that they were viewed in a negative light by their own peers and managers and cite their childhood experiences--in particular, the influence of observed female leadership during their upbringing--as having an impact on how they navigate the workplace. Practical recommendations include ensuring managers and supervisors of AAMW create opportunities for feedback and skill development for them to advance in the workplace, creating mentoring programs within organizations, and developing diversity and equity programming to improve workplace culture. Recommendations for African American millennial women include taking more ownership over their careers and seeking to learn what is required for promotion and advancement to ensure they are better positioned for career growth. Recommendations for further study include conducting a study with larger sample size of African American millennial women to understand the lived experiences of this workforce generation across employment industries and geographic location.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black women have a long history of struggle in the United States, which Collins (2000) referred to as a legacy of struggle. Despite gaining access to higher education hundreds of years after Whites and even over a decade after Black men, Black women attain graduate degrees at a higher rate than White women and Black men. Regardless of this extraordinary accomplishment, there are few studies examining the experiences of Black women in higher education and even fewer that are focused solely on middle aged, Black women in higher education. Thus, the purpose of this phenomenological study was to examine the experiences of midlife, Black, female doctoral students. The overarching question guiding this study was: What meanings did midlife, Black, female doctoral students attach to their doctoral experiences? Subsidiary questions were a) What motivated study participants to pursue doctoral study at this stage in their lives? b) What challenges and barriers did participants experience as Black, female, midlife doctoral students? c) What factors did study participants perceive as facilitating their persistence? and d) What did study participants perceive as the value of their experiences? Data were collected from nine participants using in-depth semi-structured interviews, artifacts, critical incident reflections and member checks. Participants were selected from various institutions and from a diverse group of programs. Findings were generated using Colaizzi0́9s phenomenological data analysis method as a guide. Six themes emerged from this analysis a) time is of the essence, b) I cannot do this alone, c) race matters, d) the woman in the mirror, e) is age just a number? and f) it will all be worth it. As this study was concerned with examining the experiences of midlife. Black, female doctoral students and how the intersection of these three locations impacted the doctoral experience, a conceptual framework incorporating Black feminist thought, intersectionality and midlife development was also used in order to analyze the phenomenon. Findings from this study point to the resilience and determination of midlife Black women in doctoral programs. Occupying educational spaces allowed these women to interrupt negative images and perceptions of Blacks in general, and older Black women specifically. Findings from the study will add to the paucity of research focused on older, Black, female doctoral students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on women of color political elites in the United States in varying levels of office and non-elected positions. In recent years increased attention has been paid to the role that women of color play in U.S. politics. These actors bring different priorities to office and also have to navigate not only sexism, but also barriers due to their racial or ethnic identity among other politically salient identities such as sexual orientation, nativity, immigration status, religiosity and ability. The chapters in this volume employ a variety of methods better understand to how ethno-racial minority women navigate the U.S. political system. This book uses an intersectional approach to understanding the opportunities and challenges that women of color political elites face in American politics. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Women, Politics, and Policy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much has been written about a model of leadership that emphasizes women's values and experiences, that is in some ways distinct from male models of leadership. This book redirects the focus to a view of leadership as a multicultural phenomenon that moves beyond dualistic notions of "masculine" and "feminine" leadership, and focuses more specifically on leadership as the management of meaning, including the meanings of the notion of "organizational leader." This volume focuses on leadership "traditions" revealed in the history of Black women in America and exemplified in the leadership approaches of 15 African American women executives who came of age during the civil rights and feminist movements of the 1960's and 1970's and climbed to the top of major U.S. organizations. It advances a vision of organizational leadership that challenges traditional masculine and feminine notions of leadership development and practice, providing insights on organizational leadership in the era of post-industrialization and globalization. Additionally, by placing African American women at the center of analysis, this book provides insights into the ways in which race and gender structure key leadership processes in today's diverse and changing workplace. It is a must-read for scholars and researchers in organizational communication, management, leadership, African American studies, and related areas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2017 Race, Gender, and Class Section Book Award from the American Sociological Association Popular discussions of professional women often dwell on the conflicts faced by the woman who attempts to “have it all,” raising children while climbing up the corporate ladder. Yet for all the articles and books written on this subject, there has been little work that focuses on the experience of African American professional women or asks how their perspectives on work-family balance might be unique. Raising the Race is the first scholarly book to examine how black, married career women juggle their relationships with their extended and nuclear families, the expectations of the black community, and their desires to raise healthy, independent children. Drawing from extensive interviews with twenty-three Atlanta-based professional women who left or modified careers as attorneys, physicians, executives, and administrators, anthropologist Riché J. Daniel Barnes found that their decisions were deeply rooted in an awareness of black women’s historical struggles. Departing from the possessive individualistic discourse of “having it all,” the women profiled here think beyond their own situation—considering ways their decisions might help the entire black community. Giving a voice to women whose perspectives have been underrepresented in debates about work-family balance, Barnes’s profiles enable us to perceive these women as fully fledged individuals, each with her own concerns and priorities. Yet Barnes is also able to locate many common themes from these black women’s experiences, and uses them to propose policy initiatives that would improve the work and family lives of all Americans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intersectionality, or the consideration of race, class, and gender, is one of the prominent contemporary theoretical contributions made by scholars in the field of women's studies that now broadly extends across the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. Taking stock of this transformative paradigm, The Intersectional Approach guides new and established researchers to engage in a critical reflection about the broad adoption of intersectionality that constitutes what the editors call a new "social literacy" for scholars. In eighteen essays, contributors examine various topics of interest to students and researchers from a feminist perspective as well as through their respective disciplines, looking specifically at gender inequalities related to globalization, health, motherhood, sexuality, body image, and aging. Together, these essays provide a critical overview of the paradigm, highlight new theoretical and methodological advances, and make a strong case for the continued use of the intersectional approach both within the borders of women's and gender studies and beyond.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Condensing and interpreting an enormous body of social science research, this book helps young women survive and thrive in their careers. In a recent survey, working women in the millennial generation (aged from 22 to 35) reported persistent concerns of gender bias in the form of inequitable pay scales, corporate cultures that favor men, stereotypes, few women among the top echelons of the organization, and barriers to balancing work and family. Clearly, women continue to face significant obstacles to success in the workplace despite the progress that has occurred in recent decades. How Women Can Make It Work: The Science of Success will help Gen-X, Y, and Z women who are recent high school or college grads, in their first or second job, or new moms weighing decisions about working achieve success and satisfaction in their careers. The information in this book is also invaluable for managers and counselors who work with young women and want to understand the issues they may be facing.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this applied study was to solve the problem of freshman African American female students being unaware of careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, at universities located in the United States’ southern region and to formulate a solution for career advisors to implement. Historically, African American female students have identified with traditional female career fields in nursing, caretaking, and teaching and have infrequently pursued non-traditional careers. For African American female students, educational accomplishments yield access to professional advancement possibilities, higher wages, extensive job opportunities, and job satisfaction, especially when they are aware of underrepresented careers. Krumboltz (1976) and Pask’s (1975) career selection theories were explored to identify barriers that would interfere with career advisors exploring non-traditional careers with this student population. This study adopted a multimethod approach of gathering data that incorporated qualitative and quantitative methodologies by utilizing semistructured interviews, a review of university documents, and a survey that utilized a 5-point Likert scale. The overwhelming theme that resonated throughout the study was the importance of improving communication and trust between career advisors and freshman African American female students. As the enrollment of African American females continues to increase, cultural sensitivity and awareness training emerged as pivotal for universities to embrace. Students are also encouraged to meet with a career advisor their freshman year to explore career opportunities they may not have considered and to become familiar with other available services.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African Americans have seen marked improvements in all aspects of their lives in the past fifty years. Laws have permitted and supported discriminatory practices and procedures against African Americans in every aspect of their lives. They have always had to prove their worth just to be recognized or considered for a position, to accomplish goals that others were automatically afforded. It was not uncommon for African Americans to experience major setbacks based solely on the color of their skin. African American women have been at a greater disadvantage due to being African American and female; a double minority, if you will. Educational and employment opportunities were limited and when they were made available, those with experience made little effort to mentor African Americans to ensure their success. History has proven race and gender impacts leadership skills and potential as well as upward mobility in the workplace. Meeting the basic requirements for higher education, an internship, or employment is only one component necessary for success. Mentoring is a major factor in the success of individuals and without successful mentoring, many African Americans face adversity, isolation, and unnecessary hardships. Mentoring in the African American community has been a source of comfort for many years. The familial unit has served as a sounding board, a source of support and a safe place to disclose ones innermost feelings encompassing mental, spiritual and career struggles. Mentoring in all aspects of life is beneficial to the success of the individual, whether in education, ones social life, or employment. With individuals that are committed to the mentoring process, both parties will find mentoring beneficial and rewarding. It is essential for African Americans to reach back and lift up a protégé while simultaneously climbing the ladder of success. The issue is addressed to academics and schoolteachers as well as researchers in the field of physics education.
