About this title

Synopsis

Shares the stories of successful women who have developed a feminine approach to their careers instead of copying male models of success

Reviews

Cohen ( Making It Big ) favors "tender power" in the workplace: kindness, trust and concern for colleagues, rather than one-upmanship. She offers a reprise of how liberated women are succeeding in the marketplace, then presents interviews with entrepreneurial females, not all of whom agree with her claims for the efficacy of tender power. Cohen is firm in her belief that even difficult men can be won over to the ideal, with benefits to themselves as well as to women. What she neglects to offer, however, are specific suggestions on ways for busy workers, particularly those who are also wives and mothers, to realize the dream of mutual cooperation and true equality in the business world. First serial to Working Woman.

Yet another book dealing with the conflicts facing women in the workplace and at home. The author has nothing new to add and recycles the stereotypes of competitive males and nurturing females, of women conforming to male roles in order to succeed and losing their identities in the process. Her solution is "tender power," a strength based on cooperation rather than impersonal threats and decrees. Edith Gilson's Unnecessary Choices: The Hidden Life of the Executive Woman (LJ 3/1/87), Barbara Berg's The Crisis of the Working Mother: Resolving the Conflict Between Family and Work (LJ 4/15/86), and Judith Briles's Woman to Woman: From Sabotage to Support (LJ 2/1/88) are among the many works that offer a serious analysis of these issues. Cohen's epilogue states that tenderness is pink and powerful. Hard-working women will find this image offensive. Not recommended.

Store Description

Established in 1991, as family run used bookstore with thousands of gently read books, in stock to chose from. How it all came about I like to read and in about 1987 the house got full. The spare bedroom was literally boxed in. Then in May of 1991 the garage over flowed and then it happen the books had to go as their was no more room in the house or in the garage. So the Book Shop was opened. Well I'm still here and a lot more books have passed through the door of our shop the Ye Old Bookworm. All I wanted was a quite little used bookstore. Well that's how it was suppose to happen. We started with 69,873 and growing to well over 170,000. we got so many book we don't even know what we got. I never planned on being rich and famous. Well I'm still not rich, but the old man is really cleaning up (he's the janitor) and a lot of folks know us now so were sort of famous. We would like to get to know you too. Specialty: General Stock of Paperback and Hardcover, covering just about every subject, most titles listed are Out-Of-Print. Too many too list on line. We Strive to list all of our Hardback books and only a selected few of the Paperback. So if it is not listed that doesn't mean we don't have it. Drop us a line to search our bookshelves for that book your looking for.
