Does not address intersectionality making the advice too broad. Some of it felt very outdated.

I've gone back to this book a few times since I first started interning my freshman year and I learn things every time. It is really rewarding to see growth and measure progress with the self-assessment in the beginning of the book.

I read this book ages ago and I’ve thought about it over the years and I actually really hate it. For anyone considering it, I would say you should pass. It wasn’t good advice back then and it’s definitely incredibly outdated advice now.

I read this book for my College Marketing class. I started it with the idea of reading it as just an assignment. That quickly changed.

Frankel's witty quips and ability to point out flaws in how most women carry themselves is absolutely astounding. I am so glad I had the pleasure of reading this book.

Great book. As with any self help book all advice ought to be taken with a pinch of salt. Nonetheless, most of the advice here is highly sensible.

A nice summary of workplace habits that can be refined and practiced. My sister recommended this book to me because she knows I struggle with several of the nice girl habits. I appreciate the tone of this book which is direct, firm, and no-nonsense. There are some suggestions that may seem to be less than progressive (no tattoos? wear makeup?) but these are explained under the notion that there are, actually, different rules for workplace success for men and women, even if it's not fair. Much of the other advice (there are, after all, over a hundred suggestions here) is more easily accepted - be direct, speak up, say what you mean, etc. Interesting read.
