Summary:
This thesis is based upon a survey of ninety-five highly successful women executives in the New York Metropolitan area. The primary purpose of this study was to discover what it was about these women that made it possible for them to succeed in their business roles. An open-end questionnaire designed to serve as a written case history device was used to gain information relative to these women's occupational experiences, personal characteristics, educational background and their own opinions relating to their career histories. Inasmuch as it appears that these women who have attained executive positions seem to evidence personal and occupational histories that indicate similarities, this study contributes perspective and lays the groundwork for more specific and in-depth future studies.
