"Rethinking the way women work -- or, in many cases, the way work doesn't work for women. Early in their career together, Nancy was pulled aside by her boss and told she should go for the top job in her ad agency's creative department -- but was strongly advised not to have kids. He told her without varnish: Darling, you can’t do both. She and Janet, already a mom, refused to believe that 'truth' and went on to find a way to make motherhood not a roadblock in their careers, but an advantage. Women need to start breaking the largely unspoken rules of business (some of our own making), such as Women can't do both career and family, Networking is for men, Nice girls don't get in your face and Asking for help is weak. How you can really begin to change your reality -- and maybe even your company -- from the ground up. This book will spark a new thread of conversation and a new wave of action for women in the workplace -- one that's realistic, positive and filled with effective strategies for every woman with career goals"--Provided by publisher.
