Statistics have shown that women often see themselves in a competition with other women...using the divide and conquer political rule, men have the advantage of using that loophole to further promote other each other while women castigate themselves in quest for power. Read it.

A short, quick read. Somewhat repetitive but the message is a good one: women tend to look at other women in the workplace as competition, not as allies. It stems from women's pervading fear that there are only a few spots for women to advance. Of course this fear is fed from the inequities that still exist in the workplace, which is a fact (Equal Pay Day is still in April, people!). However, the author says that if we just shift our perceptions and begin to think, believe, and feel that the women that surround us are allies, the opportunities are endless! Ways to do this are by forming support networks, trying to purposely hire qualified women as opposed to men when given the option, sharing information, and finding opportunities for mentorship. If a women does get a promotion, cheer her! If a man asks you how you feel about another women, even if you hate her, don't give in! Negativity breeds more negativity. Et cetera... We will feel better about our work, ourselves, and the women we work with.

Quick read. No groundbreaking new ideas, but helpful reminders about networking, rpesented in an easy to digest way. Very helpful reminder of the value of building a real network/web, without pushing uncomfortable ideas. Most helpful in her encouragement to think of way to help other women and really use the connections we already have. Motivating me to become more involved in helpful groups.

A great book for women who work in the corporate world. It's a reminder that we need to help each other because one woman's success or failure affects all of us

Interesting take on women in business written by a woman with very long corporate experience. Good basic read for professional women.

Good for the corporate woman- helps women realize that they are always on the same team at work- the guys would never have a woman's back when push comes to shove.
