[This book] examines the underlying causes of women’s predisposition to stop short of success. The book covers those problem areas common to most women socialized by traditional standards of what it means to be “feminine,” e.g., confidence and assertiveness, control, mixed messages, luck versus ability… However success is defined, e.g., opening a business, getting a promotion, or leaving an abusive situation, this book offers a guide to it.
