Synopsis Lois P. Frankel suggests that women take a close look at their own behavior to figure out why they aren't getting ahead as fast as they think they should. Analyzing the way women traditionally are raised, and at the overly "nice" and much too humble habits that are often a part of them, Frankel aims to help women overcome their handicaps in order to succeed in business. Women, for example, bring in cookies, hesitate to make waves, and offer suggestions with a question mark and an apologetic smile--all habits that can hold them back in a world where decisiveness and confidence are prized, and where it's important not to worry about being liked. To help women cross these ingrained barriers--to move, essentially, from girlhood to adulthood--Frankel provides sensible advice, clear-cut rules to follow, and a series of illuminating case histories.
