What You Need to Know about Networking with Other Women

women grow professionally.
There's no question about it: Women have come a long way, career-wise. It's no longer unheard of for a woman to be a top-level executive (like Marissa Mayer), or a media mogul with a compelling rags-to-riches story (like Oprah Winfrey).
However, it's clear the glass ceiling still exists. As of March 2014, women make up only:
14.6 percent of executive officers
8.1 percent of top earners
4.6 percent of Fortune 500 CEOs
By 21st century standards, that's poor representation in an environment where the Civil Rights Act of 1964 - which prohibits sexual discrimination, among other things - is supposedly in effect.
Clearly, other factors are at play, other than the women-should-stay-in-the-kitchen mentality. One of these is the network effect - or lack thereof - among women.
