This review is from: A Few Good Women: Breaking The Barriers To Top Management (Hardcover)

This book was worth every dollar. It is well written and extremely interesting. It tells the stories of women who have successfully made it in their fields of business. It explains their real life stories of how they got there and funny or frustrating things that happened along the way. The book also gives insight into how to handle difficult situations as a woman in power. It is a fast read. Informative and easy to understand. It is a very valueable book to read.
