I had a bit of a love/hate relationship with this book at first. To be sure, some of the advice is way outdated (was published in 1992), such as the absolute pronouncement against women wearing pants at work. There was no mention of email or the internet, either, which was oddly funny to me.

Overall, though, I think Heim did a bang-up job of explaining the differences between women and men at work and how those differences came about. While I the reliance on childhood games (ie sports-related games for boys and house/doll games for girls) was a bit heavy, the point was taken. There were a few "aha!" moments for me and Heim was already at the ready with practical ideas and examples. Two chapters I partically liked were called "Power Talk" and Power Moves". These chapters explained how women can use language and nonverbal cues to their advantage.

A really good read, that I would likely recommend, despite some of the dated info.

DNF. If I could give this book 0.5 stars rounded down, I would.

This book contains some very interesting concepts, although some of them I believe are a little outdated. Worth the read though.

This book offered some helpful strategies for women in achieving success in the business world. The edition I read was last revised in the 1990s and I thought quite a bit of it was outdated. Also, it was a somewhat disheartening to read, given all the examples of how women could be/are seen as weaker or less effective in the workplace. However, overall it was a decent read and I found some chapters helpful
