To Mackoff, the enigmatically smiling Mona Lisa serves as a model of "womanly strength and composure," and in this book she discusses the positive influence of humor in the life of today's working woman. Humor has the potential of defusing such situations as: patronizing remarks from co-workers, dealing with difficult people, and handling tension on and off the job. Mackoff offers examples and case studies, some taken from experiences of notable women such as Elizabeth Dole, Geraldine Ferraro, Lillian Hellman, and Ella Grasso. These examples are followed by exercises designed to cultivate skills to use humor. Techniques of using humor are discussed for situations including business meetings, dealing with family and friends, and coping with office gossip. A good and unusual self-help guide, this is especially recommended for public libraries.
