An essential resource for any working woman, 'What works for women at work' is a comprehensive and insightful guide for mastering office politics as a woman. Authored by Joan C. Williams, one of the nation's most-cited experts on women and work, and her daughter, writer Rachel Dempsey, this unique book offers a multi-generational perspective into the realities of today's workplace. Often women receive messages that they have only themselves to blame for failing to get ahead -- negotiate more! Stop being such a wimp! Stop being such a witch! 'What works for women at work' tells women it's not their fault. The simple fact is that office politics often benefit men over women. Based on interviews with 127 successful working women, over half of them women of colour, 'What works for women at work' presents a toolkit for getting ahead in today's workplace.
