Paperback. Condition: Good. Women Kick Ass Men still think they rule the world. Not anymore. Women have the power-right now-to harness their natural abilities and strengths, and to dominate in business. Thousands of books, articles, seminars, and programs push women to be empowered, to take charge, and to own their careers. It isn't working. Even with equal levels of education and experience and no matter what career they've chosen, women fail to make the same progress in their jobs as their male counterparts do, and that phenomenon is repeated all the way through the leadership pipeline. The number of women shrinks by half by the middle-management level, and dwindles to a fragment when it comes to promotion to the C-suite. Only 6.4% of the Fortune 500 have female CEOs. Women get fired, get discouraged and quit, or settle on jobs for which they are overqualified. Women still receive less pay than men for the same job and the same work. Men dominate the business world and wield their influence and power to perpetuate this cycle, secure in the belief that this is the natural order of society.

Hardback. Condition: Good. Deanna Fei was just five-and-a-half months pregnant when she inexplicably went into labor. Minutes later, she met her tiny baby who clung to life support inside a glass box. Fei was forced to confront terrifying issues: How to be the mother of a child she could lose at any moment. Whether her daughter would survive another day--and whether she should. But as she watched her daughter fight for her life, Fei discovered the power of the mother-child bond at its most elemental. A year after she brought her daughter home from the hospital, the CEO of AOL--her husband's employer--set off a national firestorm about the children he had called "distressed babies." By blaming the beautiful, miraculously healthy little girl for a cut in employee benefits, he attached a price tag to her life. Girl in Glass is the riveting story of one child's harrowing journey and a powerful distillation of parenthood. With incandescent prose and an unflinching eye, Fei explores the value of a human life: from the spreadsheets wielded by cost-cutting executives to the insidious notions of risk surrounding modern pregnancy; from the wondrous history of medical innovation in the care of premature infants to contemporary analyses of what their lives are worth; and finally, to the depths of her own struggle to make sense of her daughter's arrival in the world. Above all, Girl in Glass is a luminous testament to how love takes hold when a birth defies our fundamental beliefs about how life is supposed to begin.…
