Weidhaas' work offers a vital perspective on gender in the modern workplace. Through personal narratives of successful entrepreneurs, Female Business Owners in Public Relations reveals the social discourses that challenge, constrain, and even undermine the ways in which work is communicatively understood. In the end, this book provides a much needed voice for women to articulate the complexities of their personal and professional lives. And, it offers a timely discussion on gender issues in our world today.
