A Working Woman's PhD is a blunt, practical collection of life lessons learned through sixty-two years of hard work, mistakes, heartbreak, raising kids, starting over, and figuring things out the hard way. In short, no-nonsense chapters, K. S. Wall shares common-sense advice about money, relationships, boundaries, resilience, and trusting your instincts. This is a self-help book for anyone who wants straightforward wisdom from someone who earned her education through real life rather than a classroom.
