Of her book, the NEW YORK TIMES wrote, "'Wouldn't it be inspiring if you could acknowledge straight up, to yourself and to others, that you have big, precious professional goals?' Condren urges women to 'reclaim ambition as a virtue' and to pry apart the bars of 'self-imposed traps' which cause ambitious women to 'sell themselves short. '"
