It is indeed an acknowledged fact that women have made great strides in all fields, matching and even surpassing men in many areas. What this book attempts to do is to provide them with finer nuances for empowering themselves more, so they know how to wield power and stand shoulder-to-shoulder with men. The author emphasizes the need for women to abandon all the wrongful, traditional, womanly traits and behavior that keep them from evolving into their potential best.
Solovic brings out the contrasting styles between men and women and how women wreck their chances due to their weakness and lack of adequate confidence. She illustrates by using examples and employs quotes to bring home the point that right behavior and attitudes are the keys for being recognized as a leader. She stresses on the need for women to assert themselves in the right way, break free from old-held expectations and challenge traditional workplace inequities.
She also underlines the importance of making forceful communication, adopting the right tone and tenor, and developing an appropriate overall style that best reflects the image that one would like to project and be identified with. The book also makes a strong statement on working out a blended image that combines the best elements of feminine attributes with the assertive and forceful communication style of men in order to ensure greater leverage and effect.
As more and more women take charge of their life and career, the need to stop remaining on the sidelines and move centre stage to leadership, power and influence is indeed the next step in the process of their evolvement. This book is no doubt a step in that direction.
Needless to say, business professionals, entrepreneurs, in fact all aspiring women will find this book useful for reinventing their image more strongly. Even men can have a peek into this book so they will be able to recognize such women when they come across, and play an encouraging and useful role.

What is the Equal Pay Act?
Under the Equal Pay Act or 1963, any employee, whether male or female, must be given substantially equal work that requires equal skill, effort and responsibility and are carried out under similar working conditions, and the compensation must be substantially equal as well. The law was formulated and brought into effect as a result of years of outcries and proposals from different labor and women's rights groups seeking for fair treatment and compensation in the workplace. The Equal Pay Act is just but one of the many progresses of women's advocacy towards gender equality in the society. Although the Equal Pay Act is still subject to the scope and exceptions of covered employees and employers contained within the act, it is considered as th...
