Among Equals
Ruth Leach Amonette
Among Equals: The Rise of IBM's First Female Corporate Vice President is Ruth Leach Amonette's true story of IBM and its leader, Thomas J. Watson Sr., during those growing years, from a woman's point of view. Mrs. Amonette is truly a pioneer in the history of United States corporate life just before, during, and after WWII.
Review: "I know I speak for the women of IBM in thanking Ruth for paving the way for the thousands of women, and indeed all employees who have pursued their career aspirations with IBM. Ruth and her women colleagues broke through the glass ceiling in the 1940's and 1950's and became the first role models for women in IBM-and remain so today. She was at the forefront on issues relating to women in the executive suite and her efforts have stood the test of time...
"Whether 1945 or 2000, we are in business to attract, serve and retain customers and shareholders. Ruth's vision of women as participants in the execution of that strategy is alive and well. It is with great pride and gratitude that I congratulate you on your continuing efforts to promote the advancement of women."
J.T.(Ted) Childs, Jr.
Vice President, IBM
Bio: Ruth Leach Amonette received her BA from UC Berkeley in 1937 and began her career with IBM two years later. She lives in Monterey County, California.
