Abstract
What is it like for foreign women professionals to work in a country like Turkey—managing subordinates,
working with clients and supervisors? What kind of social life do they have? In this article, the
authors answer these questions and more, drawing on interviews with foreign women professionals working in Turkey.
Using an unusual narrative approach to present their research results, they reveal unexpected insights and identify
key success factors such as the importance of foreign education over gender and the influence economic development
of the host country may exert on women's success. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
