review 1: Truthfully I wanted to read this book because I had heard that they had based C.J. Cregg's (The West Wing) on Dee Dee Myers. I actually enjoyed the book a lot more than I thought I would have. An excellent book that integrated a lot of other books and research on the topic into one book. While I will admit that there were some parts that were really boring to read, overall I did enjoy the book. Myers explains her time in the West Wing and how difficult it was to be a press secretary who did not have all the tools she needed for her job because she was a woman. She went on to explain how woman and men are different whether young or old. And to giving the reader other women's work experience in a male-dominated field. An enjoyable read that I would recommend to any woman and... more even a man!
review 2: This was an interesting book for me to read because I definitely noticed that working in PR is probably sheltering me from what a lot of women go through in corporate America. The book addresses issues and obstacles that women have to overcome in male-dominated fields, however PR tends to be saturated with women, so I haven't had the same experience that many other women have. From our client, to vendors and my bosses, the majority of the people I work with are women. That being said, while PR tends to be mostly women, I recgonized that our field could potentially benefit from having more men. The book focused on how women could (and should) rule the world, and I agreed with the majority of Dee Dee's points. However, I think that for optimal success, companies should recruit both men and women, since both genders can bring a lot to the table. This book does a good job of pointing out what women can bring to the table and how we can "bring it" with confidence. The best lesson I learned from this book is that women need to get better at asking for what they want and proving why they deserve it! less
