Madeline Albright is famous for saying that there is a special place in hell for women who don’t help other women. Yet there has been much discussion about the fact that once women reach leadership roles, they don’t tend to help other women move up.

Joining me today is author, Pamela Ryckman. Her recent book, Stiletto Network, describes a new trend of women forming power circles that are changing the face of business.
