A Back-Handed Compliment
Remember Carol Hymowitz of the Wall St. Journal fame? On March 24, 1986, she and
Timothy Schellhardt use the phrase "glass ceiling" to describe the limits women faced rising the corporate ladder. Up until the end of last year, she wrote the WSJ column, "In The Lead," where she continued the arguments that "Women Can't, Won't, or Don't."
However, for the past year Ms. Hymowitz has had a new gig, focusing on the achievements of contemporary women in leadership. See her continuing impressive work at Forbes.com
Ms. Hymowitz no longer speaks about the negative stereotypes keeping women "in their place." In fact, she gave a back-handed compliment to a major theme in my book, "myth-busting," when she wrote her October 16, 2009 article titled: "Bucking Stereotypes: Mythbusters are women who dare to do what they want – and ignore those who say they can’t."
