review 1: This book was better than I expected or at least more scholarly. I thought it would be a light hearted view of the issue of women in the workplace but it was much more insightful and well researched. The author used experiences from her time in public service and incorporated those of other women as well. She drew on studies and other evidence of the impact of gender differences in a variety of settings to highlight her point that with more diversity among those in power the world could be a better place and one that takes into account a variety of perspectives. The title might suggest a thesis that women alone should rule the world. That is not her view, but it is no question that things would be different. And Leon Panetta, hmm, I expected a little more out of him but ... moreoh well. Better than 3 star not quite 4 star but very good.
review 2: This book was not good as I had hoped. While I really liked the snippets about her experience in the White House and her writing on other notable female political figures I was bored with much of the rest. Women should rule the world because we are different then men. Because biologically men are more aggressive and we are better equipped to read emotion and are really drawn towards cooperation so women can bring things to the table that men have not been capable of before... I've always been more of a nurture gal myself so I don't buy most of that. Even if women ARE better at cooperation then men and even if it IS because of our biology why is that an excuse for men to get away without cooperating and women to be forced to always have to get along with others? I was hoping for something more and didn't get it. BUT if she wrote something her career working campaigns and her years as press secretary I'd read it up! less
