A sexist and sad book
Why women should buy this book? Are they really in need for this kind of "confidence boost" or we already know that women can compete head-to-head with men? My advice is simple: If you need this book, then you should look for a career where you don't need to compete with anyone, neither man or woman.

We are leaders, yes - now hear us roar!
This is a wonderful book that should bolster the confidence of all the women who read it. But I would add one very important item: women show far too much humility about their talents and skills. If we want people to value our skills, we must first show that we value ourselves - by making sure our accomplishments are visible to targeted audiences. If we want people to hire us, buy from us, and invest in our companies, they have to know who we are, what we have accomplished and why they should do business with us! Self-promotion is not bragging. It is a valuable business tool that careerwomen must add to their strategies for success.

Why the Best Man for the Job is a Woman
Save your money! The authors hopelessly biased style and language is a big turn-off. Any useful information is obscured by the overly general "truths" about the innate supperiority of women to men. I found this book to be a BIG dissapointment. There are much better books out there that offer similar substance with a more positive and believable tone. Get one of them! Similar Products
