 Women need to STOP pretending to be "Good Girls"!, 2008-09-07
I have read this book twice at different times in my life and both times, it is like a good swift kick in the butt. Every woman should read this, unless you are already living the gutsy life! I think all of us are hindered by what we think is "good" or right or how we are expected to act.
The easiest way I can put this is to recommend you think back to before you cared about what people thought, when you were between the ages of 8 and 14, what was your personality like? that is your true self. Kate White helps you to find your true self (which is usually not a good girl!) and to become the person that you were meant to be. Stop being a yes girl, stop being a push over, say what you want, how you want and when you want it and take control of your life. Do not waste any more time on worrying about other people, in other words, Kate will help you to have the "balls" to be the gutsy girl that you know you are!

A must read for all Good Girls in the workforce.. you know who you are..., 2008-02-29
I got this book when it first came out and I read it cover to cover... nodding with self recognition again and again. I have underlined several areas and pick it up constantly. I love Kate's examples - her writing style is very readable and gets the point across quickly. Being a Good Girl is a hard habit to break but they say self awareness is the first step.

 A Must for Working Women, 2006-12-02
This book is great. It focuses on what women do in the workplace that underminds thier career. It also talks about how you should act. It's a great book for women working in a corperate jungle. It's a little hard to read at times, and she focuses on her life experiences in the magazine industry. Therefore, some of the things she talks about don't relate well to my field. I'm sure reading this book will help me in my career.

Highly valuable book, even if you're not a self-help type, 2006-10-05
I was just out of college when my friend's mother gave me this book. My friend and I rolled our eyes - we were *definitely* not self-help-book readers. I still am not. But many times over the past ten years I have referenced this book in conversations with friends. I have found myself applying many of the tips that Ms. White provides. You don't have to be a hyper-ambitious, ladder-climbing corporate professional to get something out of this book. Among the tenets that have stood out to me over the years are:
-Don't always need to be liked
-Don't smile too easily
-Don't apologize too quickly
-Don't clean up after other colleagues (especially men)
-Don't be a perfectionist at the expense of innovative thinking or getting things done
Simply the notion that men and women (in broad strokes, at least) behave differently and are treated differently in the workplace was a novel idea to me, coming out of a liberal arts college during the mid-1990s. Reading this book gave me an awareness that everyone needs. Obviously, no one book will apply perfectly to each of us, so you can't go looking for that. But do look to this book for many useful ways of seeing the professional world and your own role in it.

Enjoyed, learned but read it all with a grain of salt!, 2006-06-10
I have never believed, or wanted to believe, in the feminist views of the world. I like to believe that if we focus on results, deliverables, and excellent performance and good merit, we will indeed get ahead - man or woman - in corporate america. Reading this book however did have certain advice in handling some situations that only arise for women in the workplace. Not every bit of advice or circumstance applies to all of us, but overall, this was a very good read, I took bits and pieces of advice from Kate and really did enjoy her stories and her candid sharing of the experience she had been through. I really do recommend it to everyone - not just women. It's good to be aware of our ingrained beliefs and learn to let go of them and face life with a much more open mind.
