In Work, Sister, Work, Cydney and Leslie Shields go deep into the problems black women confront in the workplace in order to answer these questions. For them there is not just the glass ceiling of corporate politics and sexism, the old boys' club and the dual demands of home and office - experienced by all women who seek to advance - the ceiling black women run into is concrete. They must bear the double burden of their sex compounded with their race. And there is more, according to the authors. Black women have been unable to develop an adequate sense of their own worth and power to accomplish their ends.
