Description

From the NPR host of The Indicator and correspondent for Planet Money comes an ';accessible, funny, clear-eyed, and practical' (Sarah Knight,New York Times bestselling author) guide for how women can apply the principles of 16th-century philosopher Niccol Machiavelli to their work lives and finally shatter the glass ceilingperfect for fans of Feminist Fight Club,Lean In, and Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office.

Women have been making strides towards equality for decades, or so we're often told. They've been increasingly entering male-dominated areas of the workforce and consistently surpassing their male peers in grades, university attendance, and degrees. They've recently stormed the political arena with a vengeance. But despite all of this, the payoff isquite literallynot there: the gender pay gap has held steady at about 20% since 2000. And the number of female CEOs for Fortune 500 companies has actually been declining.

So why, in the age of #MeToo and #TimesUp, is the glass ceiling still holding strong? And how can we shatter it for once and for all? Stacy Vanek Smith's advice: ask Machiavelli ';with this delicious look at what we have to gain by examining our relationship to power' (Sally Helgesen, New York Times bestselling author).

Using ThePrince as a guide and with charm and wit, Smith applies Renaissance politics to the 21st century, and demonstrates how women can take and maintain power in careers where they have long been cast as second-best. ';Machiavelli For Women is the ultimate battle guide for our times. Brimming with hard-boiled strategies, laced with wit, it's a must-read for every woman ready to wield power unapologetically' (Claire Shipman, coauthor of The Confidence Code).
