Book Description
A manifesto for the workplace feminist that moved Oscar winner Jane Fonda to exclaim “Please, please, please. All working women must read this book!” Enough about “breaking the glass ceiling.” Here are blueprints for a redesign of the entire building, ground up, to benefit women and men—as well as the bottom line. In Taking on the Big Boys, longtime labor activist Ellen Bravo explores workplace environments in both business and government. She recounts women’s testimonies from offices, assembly lines, hospitals, and schools, unmasking the patronizing, trivializing, and minimizing tactics employed by “the big boys” and their surrogates, such as portraying feminism as women against men, and dismissing demands for pay equity, family leave, and flex time as outrageous. Also included are practical tips on everything from dealing with a sexual harasser to getting family members to share chores—and build equal relationships. In this “smart, kind, funny, and very effective” Gold Medal Winner of ForeWord Magazine’s Book of the Year Award for Women’s Issues, Bravo argues for feminism as a system of beliefs, laws, and practices that value women and work associated with women, while detailing activist strategies to achieve a society where everybody—women and men—reach their potential (Gloria Steinem, feminist icon).

Book Description
My name is Heather Havenwood and I am a Sexy Boss. I wasn’t always a Sexy Boss, however... After being spit out by the corporate world and growing tired of sales jobs that paid well but left me empty, I launched my own real estate business at the tender age of 25. I was kicking butt and taking names. It quickly became a 7-figure company that I operated out of my home with two other partners, whom I trusted completely to manage the money and financial side of the business. Things were going great -- amazing actually -- until one day I was hit with the biggest shock of my life. I had been away at a weekend seminar, and arrived back at my home, only to see that one of my partners and all his stuff was suddenly gone. Worse yet, ALL of my bank accounts were emptied...I was literally wiped out. So I set out to share my stories, my experiences and yes, even my set backs to show women entrepreneurs how they too can be a powerful force in the world. If you are a woman in business or if you want to start a business, you must read this book. First, it’s unlike any other business book. Why? Because it gives you all the tools you’ll need as a woman to succeed and prosper in what was previously only a man’s world. My mission is to champion women everywhere to awaken the Sexy Boss within and realize their greatness. And do it with attitude.

It also reveals the parallel world of one of America's most impressive sub-societies, the life of the Big Boys - long distance truckers who spend the best years of their lives living inside their "sleepers."
