Reviews

If you liked Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office, you'll love Breaking into the Boys' Club. . . . [It's] a valuable addition to every working woman's library.

Lois P. Frankel Ph.D, author of the New York Times–bestselling Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office and Nice Girls Don't Get Rich

I love the approach of Breaking into the Boys' Club, a no-nonsense combination of workbook, case studies, and good advice. The payoff at book's end is apparent once you realize that you've been led from conceiving to designing and then to executing a personal development plan guaranteed to grow your career.
