5.0 out of 5 stars Impressed and Inspired!

I truly was impressed with the perspectives of such successful women. We tend to look only to those whose names are in "big lights" for a vision of success. The women within this book share their insights and I recommend this book to every woman I know, regardless of age.

There is much discussed from mindset to beliefs, work-life balance, managing time, the kids, and just about every thing else a woman in the workplace will potentially have to work through, both professionally and privately. The tips in this book are insightful and inspirational.

I've gleaned quite a bit to share with my own 2 daughters as they get older (they are 11 & 10 right now) so that they can find success in their own hearts and minds. That they have the courage and strength to go after what they want.

Never again feel defeat for the simple fact you're a woman. We may not be able to change our biology, but we can surely change our mindset and it can start with reading this book.

Packed with inspiring profiles of women who took life by the horns, only to serve as inspiration for future pioneers, "Women at Work" makes for a great resource filled with real life stories of women who have made this world an amazing place for all who live in it...male or female.

Great book! Well really two books! Really interesting with comprehensive content. It is not just a short ebook. The author interviews really high achieving women from all over the world looking at what motivated them to succeed in their chosen careers and the cost of that success to them as individuals. The second part is a practical book dealing with issues and strategies to help a someone progress in their career. Loved it! Will be using it for reference in the future. Very easy style to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Work on women profiles
Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2012

It was refreshing to read about some powerful women, and to hear how they made it in their fields, but still managed to be women. I was glad to read that they did most of it their own way, not by copying someone else. I liked the idea of making a reputation for yourself being one of the ways of becoming a success, so that the jobs almost come to you, instead of you chasing them.
