The purpose of this study was to investigate strategies used by African American women from various socioeconomic, educational and professional backgrounds to overcome the barriers of race, gender, and class to pursue upward mobility. Three primary research questions guided the study. (1) Do African American Women professionals have to overcome race in order to pursue upward mobility? (2) Do African American women professionals have to overcome gender in order to pursue upward mobility? (3) Do African American women professionals have to overcome class in order to pursue upward mobility? Two secondary questions were (1) Did transformational leaning occur among the women interviewed? (2) Are any of the five principles of women's ways of knowing apparent in the narratives?

520 $a Six African American women holding supervisory positions in education and the private sector were interviewed using a series of eleven open-ended questions. Transcribed interviews were analyzed using open coding and content analysis. The findings did not support interactive effects of race, gender, and class as an impediment to participants' pursuit of upward mobility. All six participants cited gender as the major obstacle to their progress. In addition, two additional barriers emerged: isolation and intraracial discrimination. The narratives revealed that life events of the participants triggered transformational learning resulting in perspective transformation, an essential factor in upward mobility.
