In the face of international economic declines, a growing diversity of women is raising to top management positions. What happened in China seems to resonate together with the approach in the West. In China, just one in four have made it to the top management level, with a majority taking human resources director, and the job of chief operating officer, chief financial officer.

What holds women back from climbing up the corporate ladder? This research investigates the stories of women executives in China's corporate world based on an exploratory study. What private, social, and organizational constraints sabotage their aptitude to play a part in a traditionally male-dominant world? How did these girls make their way to the top? And, what elements are unique to Chinese girls managers' career progress?
