Women, empower thyselves!

As a progressive gen-X male, I have always wondered why the unprecedented level of opportunity for women in our society has translanted into equality of education and equal representation in the workforce, but not into equal pay for equal work or equal representation in the boardroom. Gail Evans not only offers an explanation; she tells her readers how to rectify the situation. She has been there, done that, and is spreading the word on how. This book is a great gift for any woman of ambition who is ready to help herself and other women overcome the final obstacles to gender equality.

She Wins, You Win

Once again, Gail Evans has written a book that will resonate with every thoughtful woman both in and out of the workplace. Evans' insights about how women tend to react and behave in particular situations, her stories of 'real people' and her thoughtful advice about ways in which to raise our awareness of ourselves and of how we may empower others, professionally and personally, is much food for thought and discussion. She's urging us to make a conscious effort to look for women when we are seeking professional services and, if we think they can be the best for the job, choose them! She's saying...be advocates for ourselves and for other women and her examples and insights are inspirations for further discussion.

Read it and pass it on

For every time I ever felt left out of the guys' sports pool in the office, this book is my best revenge. This book helped articulate all of the feelings I've had at work and gave a lot of useful, practical advice about how to help out other deserving women at work and build a network of support instead of envy.

A MUST read!

I love this new book by Gail Evans. She really illuminates how important is for women to help other women to succeed. I am giving a copy to my (female) boss in the hopes that she will heed Evans' good advice. You will read through this book in one day, great read, and so helpful. I feel recharged after reading this book and inspired to be a woman at my office. A must read!

A Must Read for Women!!

Women keep complaining that we can't get ahead in business because the men have placed a glass ceiling over our heads--but is it really the men's fault? Evans says that women are to blame also. Why? Because there's ONE RULE that all women must follow, and we're not doing it: We must all play on the same team. That's because every time one woman succeeds in business, we all do; and every time one woman fails in business, we all do. In other words, women need to take care of each other, help each other, support each other, exactly as the men do for other men. If we don't do that, we will never reach the highest levels of power. All the self-help and motivational books that are churned out year after year are useless if we don't start taking matters in our own hands. And that is what's most inspiring about this book--women don't need to ask for help. We have the ability to change the business world right now. All we have to do is help ourselves. This may well be the most important business book a woman will ever read. You shouldn't just buy it--you should ask your friends to read it, too.
