Product Review

Winner of the Earphones Award, 2005. In this provocative book, Margaret Heffernan, former CEO and Fast Company contributor, fuses her own experience with that of hundreds of women to identify the biggest challenges that women face today -- and the best solutions. Without sugar-coating the facts, preaching, or oversimplifying, she offers solutions and shares the truth about the working world: women's choices are limited, you can't have it all, women do work differently from me -- yes, it is possible to find success amidst all of this and feel good about it.
