The Woman Road Warrior: A Woman’s Guide to Business Travel By Kathleen Ameche
 Nearly 50% of today’s business travelers are women. This means that almost half of the traveling workforce faces particular challenges on the road, especially in areas such as safety, childcare and grooming, that are rarely, if ever shared by their male counterparts. Yet there are precious few resources tailored specifically to the needs of the traveling business woman.
Author Kathleen Ameche, corporate executive and 20-plus-year business traveler, demystifies the process of everything from navigating the maze of travel-planning options to getting plum accommodations on airplanes and in hotels, to packing exactly what’s needed to entertaining oneself in a city.
