Own It: The Power of Women at Work Hardcover

Sallie Krawcheck

Are you looking for a business pep talk? Krawcheck’s powerful book is a feminist business manifesto. Stop doing things the men’s way and start doing it your way. When we take advantage of our own natural power we can forge new paths, find companies that respect our worth, and learn to “invest our economic muscle”. As a longstanding witness to the boys club of business Krawcheck’s personal story is informative and inspiring.

Can We “Have It All”

Anne-Marie Slaughter

Public policy expert Slaughter talks about her 2012 article “Why Women Still Can’t Have It All” and expands upon her ideas. She talks about shifts in work culture, public policy, and social mores that can benefit everyone on the road to gender equality. If you have the time to read her original article from The Atlantic I recommend that you do! She talks about her experiences working in the White House doing important work, and how divided she felt. Slaughter firmly believes we can have it all but the way our economy and society are structured are holding us back.

Women in Business- Entirely Unremarkable

Kirsten Hall

In this ted talk Kirsten Hall poses the question, what happens if you stop celebrating women in business just for being women in business? Would that help reduce the idea that it’s unique or strange so that we could all work towards it being the new normal? As more and more women achieve higher ranks in industries around the world it is time for these women to not be remarkable just for their gender.

I hope you find something to help inspire and guide you towards your best career path.
