ABSTRACT
Nonetheless, the long-standing critique of “ career women” tempered the glorifi cation of entrepreneurs. Popular culture criticized women wearing “ power suits” as symbols of corporate power, wealth, and unnatural womanhood. As early as 1976 Faye Dunaway, in the fi lm Network, played a corporate executive with no soul. By the 1990s, such criticism became even more common: The hero in the 1996 fi lm Jerry Maguire replaced his driven, high-powered girlfriend with a nurturing, subordinate, working woman. Paid work was fi ne as long as women maintained perceived feminine qualities. At the same time, feminists complained that a GLASS CEILING curbed women’s rise up the corporate ladder.
