Megatrends for Women

Women's liberation, according to this relentelessly upbeat manifesto, has become an unstoppable movement, and women, though not yet fully liberated, are building a new social order. The authors, who previously collaborated on Megatrends and Megatrends 2000, contend that women in business are creating a new anti-authoritarian leadership style that empowers employees. They prediet an upsurge of women in politics and forecast that in the 1990s women will break through to top corporate posts and no longer follow clothing fashions. They envisage women's medical issues rising to the top of the nation's health-care agenda and claim that women are revolutionizing organized religion by reintegrating female values. Sprinkled with tidbits of useful information and highlighting entrepreneurial and professional areas where women may venture in the '90s, this often superficial survey is likely to be a bestseller. 300,000first printing;first serial to Glamour; BOMC and QPB alternates; Fortune Book Clubfeatured alternate; author tour.
