  The George Washington University: A seminal work providing rare and precious insights in the `transparent' world of creative genius, perseverance, and courage inhabited by the women whose lives, challenges and triumphs Dr. Oppedisano weaves in such a fine and crisp fabric. I expect the book to become standard reference in a number of programs on entrepreneurship as well as women in business and women in technology around the country and the world....I hope this will be the first of a series of works of such high caliber and value-added by her and others in this field.
