Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Privileged to know several of this book's authors, I found their stories lively, informative, and inspirational. Organized so the reader encounters each woman's essay before her resume, one's tendency to weigh the author's message on the scale of her credentials is benignly arrested. These stories strum strikingly similar chords of persistent sexism in the workplace but also celebrate steadfast commitments to self-actualization, including its unforeseen avenues and ultimate rewards. In our troubled and uncertain times, this is a book for all genders and ages.
