The Women of Berkshire Hathaway (PDF)

A fascinating look at the top women at Berkshire Hathaway and
how they got there

Although proportionally women continue to lag far behind men as
CEOs and board members at major institutions, there has been a
marked uptick in the number of female business leaders in recent
years. Looking at the changes that have happened at Berkshire
Hathaway--Warren Buffett's holding company, The Women of
Berkshire Hathaway: Lessons from Warren Buffett's Female CEOs and
Directors provides a unique look at the gradual shattering of
the glass ceiling at one of America's top firms.

An influx of female leadership over the past few
years--today there are four female CEOs, up from just one a
decade ago--has invigorated Berkshire Hathaway with energy and
unique female insight. Profiling these remarkable women, the book
provides motivational and management information for a wide range
of readers, from business students to Buffett fans.

and the female managers who run Berkshire Hathaway companies

The only book focusing on eight of the most powerful women at
Berkshire Hathaway, The Women of Berkshire Hathaway is an
inspirational read about the triumph of a group of remarkable women
within a company once dominated by men.
