Forget the Glass Ceiling: Build Your Business Without One examines the barriers women face in starting new businesses as well as the solutions they have found to break through these barriers. Using the experiences of 10 high-powered women entrepreneurs—Erika Bliss (Qliance), Mandy Cabot (Dansko), Luan Cox (Crowdnetic), Liz Elting (TransPerfect), Kara Goldin (hint, Inc.), Lili Hall (KNOCK), Paula Long (DataGravity), Kourtney Ratliff (Loop Capital Markets), Danae Ringelmann (Indiegogo) and Nina Vaca (Pinnacle)—author Geri Stengel lays out the tactics that women can use to inspire and achieve business success.

As the foundation for the book, Stengel uses Gender-Global Entrepreneurship and Development Index (GEDI) Research of High-potential Women Entrepreneurs, commissioned by Dell. GEDI is the first diagnostic tool that comprehensively identifies and analyzes the conditions that foster high-potential female entrepreneurship development. 

The book is available for download at no cost.
