Women are encouraged to believe that they can occupy top jobs in society by the example of other women thriving in their careers. Who better to be a role model for career success than your mother? Paradoxically, this book shows that having a mother as a role model, even for graduates of top universities, does not predict daughters progressing in their own careers. Based on a large, cross-generational qualitative sample, this book offers a timely and original perspective on the debate about gender equality in leadership positions.

Jill Armstrong is a Research Associate at Murray Edwards College, University of Cambridge. Her research specialism is gender equality at work. She is now leading the `Collaborating with Men’ research project that aims to change workplace culture to be more inclusive for women. Previously she led two successful commercial market research companies, all of which adds to her insight for this book. She has spoken about her mothers and daughters research on BBC Radio Four’s Bringing Up Britain.

"Jill Armstrong's study about pairs of mothers and daughters shines light on the intimate and private relations between such women. It illustrates quite simply the quiet ambitions of both generations, in its own modest but extremely approachable way." Miriam David, University College London 'A fascinating study on change and continuity in intergenerational gender relations. This is a must read!' Elisabeth Kelan, Cranfield School of Management, Cranfield University
