This does not come as a surprise to Zhang Xin, who ranks fifth in that list. She believes: “China is so entrepreneurial . . . there are no glass ceilings” (Financial Times, 2011). “We all grew up with parents who both worked for equal pay. There was no such thing as a lady of leisure” (Foster, 2010). Zhang’s story is not unusual for her generation. Born to well-educated parents who were forced to work in the fields during Mao’s revolution, Zhang is not a stranger to hardship and hard work. While working in factories and living in poverty with her mother in Hong Kong, she saved enough to buy a ticket to the United Kingdom where she attended Cambridge University.

Ruth, Dempsey, Tilden, Jones, Grange, Nagurksi, and Man o' War, just to name a few of many, were towering figures in their respective sports and became immortals to future generations. Using Babe Ruth as an example, did professional and amateur sports reflect what was happening in American society in a broader context during the 1920s? Did the economic boom and the cultural phenomena of the mid-1920s make everything seem "bigger" than it really was or was it truly a congregation of legends on America's playing fields?arrow_forwardResponding to a Changing Industry Rockwater, a wholly owned subsidiary of Brown & Root/Halliburton, a global engineering and construction company, is a worldwide leader in underwater engineering and construction. Norman Chambers, hired as CEO in late 1989, knew that the industry’s competitive world had changed dramatically. “In the 1970s, we were a bunch of guys in wet suits diving off barges into the North Sea with burning torches,” Chambers said.
