Stress And The American Woman

Description for STRESS AND THE AMERICAN WOMAN by Nora Scott Kinzer:

Stress is one of the major causes of health problems facing professionals today. In the next decade, the number of women embarking on professional careers is likely to double. Will women succeed in this competitive world without succumbing to the high rate of stress-related illnesses that plague men? Or, by repressing their sympathetic, people-oriented style, will female executives actually be doubling their stress?

To answer these questions, Nora Scott Kinzer traced the progress of 119 women in the first class to allow women at West Point, which was, until 1976, one of the most protected male enclaves in the United States. Drawing from the lessons of these successful cadets, Kinzer advises women how to work effectively in a competitive world by keeping their femininity, which may serve as a "natural" protection against stress-induced diseases.
