One of My Favorites
Based on research with successful women, Sally Helgesen brings to life the extraordinary talents of women. I had one regret about reading this book… I wish I had written it. Helgesen puts into print the promise women are capable of delivering. I have both seen and experienced it. Hear the power of your own voice in these pages. Then use it to be the change you seek to create and the one that’s sorely needed.
A Steal
Grab it. Margaret Heffernan illustrates, by way of female entrepreneurs and the companies they build, what Helgeson identifies about women’s vision. The enterprises in Heffernan’s book are led with women’s talents and values. Read how empathy leads to great product designs and raving fans who become word of mouth reps for companies such as Pampered Chef. Need better work-life-fit? In several of these woman led companies, children are a welcome sight in the workplace.
Women in Academia and Elsewhere
What do women in academia endure and what archetypes are involved?
In one of my favorite passages Rushing reports a conversation with her husband. Both are professors. Each describes their respective great day in the classroom. He is standing at the front of the room giving one of his best lectures ever. Students sit facing him, listening with rapt attention to his every word. She arranges the chairs in a circle so students can engage in conversation with each other, discovering and learning together. Ideas fly and the energy is palpable. She is one of many teachers in the room this day.
Sadly, Janice Hocker Rushing died of cancer before this book was published. The forward by her sister is worth more than the cost and the time it takes to read Erotic Mentoring. You will be moved.
