Book Description
Going beyond the message of Lean In and The Confidence Code, Gannett’s Chief Content Officer contends that to achieve parity in the office, women don’t have to change—men do—and in this inclusive and realistic handbook, offers solutions to help professionals solve gender gap issues and achieve parity at work. Companies with more women in senior leadership perform better by virtually every financial measure, and women employees help boost creativity and can temper risky behavior—such as the financial gambles behind the 2008 economic collapse. Yet in the United States, ninety-five percent of Fortune 500 chief executives are men, and women hold only seventeen percent of seats on corporate boards. More men are reaching across the gender divide, genuinely trying to reinvent the culture and transform the way we work together. Despite these good intentions, fumbles, missteps, frustration, and misunderstanding continue to inflict real and lasting damage on women’s careers. What can the Enron scandal teach us about the way men and women communicate professionally? How does brain circuitry help explain men’s fear of women’s emotions at work? Why did Kimberly Clark blindly have an all-male team of executives in charge of their Kotex tampon line? In That’s What She Said, veteran media executive Joanne Lipman raises these intriguing questions and more to find workable solutions that individual managers, organizations, and policy makers can employ to make work more equitable and rewarding for all professionals. Filled with illuminating anecdotes, data from the most recent relevant studies, and stories from Lipman’s own journey to the top of a male-dominated industry, That’s What She Said is a book about success that persuasively shows why empowering women as true equals is an essential goal for us all—and offers a roadmap for getting there.

Book Description
An artist and activist committed to the empowerment of women and girls has created a gorgeous illustrated volume, blending watercolor and short biography to showcase the contributions of more than fifty influential female leaders whose words and actions are a passionate call to arms. Distraught by the results of the 2016 election and the realization that the nation was not ready for its first female president, Kimothy Joy found herself poring over the biographies of brave women throughout history—those who persisted in the face of daunting circumstances—to learn from their experiences. Turning to art, Joy channeled her feelings to the canvas, bringing these strong women to life in bold watercolor portraits surrounded by inspirational hand-lettered quotes. With each creation, Joy found catharsis and hope. She shared her watercolors with her online community and encouraged everyone to raise their own voices and recharge for the battles ahead. Now, in this beautiful gift book, Joy has gathered her stunning illustrations and quotes and paired them with surprising, illuminating biographies of her subjects to inspire women of all ages, races, and backgrounds. That’s What She Said honors a powerful and diverse group of over fifty women—from Maya Angelou, Gloria Steinem, and Virginia Woolf to Sojourner Truth, Malala Yousafzai, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg—role models whose words and insights remind us that we must never give up the fight for a more just and equitable society. Reclaiming the derogatory cultural barb "that’s what she said," this stunning book celebrates strong female leadership throughout history and empowers current and future generations to find their voices and inspire change in their communities.

Book Description
The book was called Everything Men Understand About Women. Upon opening it, the reader found 100 blank pages. Get it? Very funny. But it gave T. J. Jefferson an idea. If men know nothing about the fairer sex, then why not go straight to the source? After all, if your toilet is backed up, you don't call your dentist, you call a plumber. So he asked strangers (and even some celebrities, such as Madonna, Shakira, Demi Moore, and Cameron Diaz) to fill the blank pages of his book. In That's What She Said, Jefferson shares 100-plus tips he's gathered from women of all ages and backgrounds in a collection of entries in their own words that are offbeat, funny, sometimes mean, often poignant–but always honest. For men, it's not a book on how to get a woman to go home with you but on how to keep her attention once you have it. And for women, think of it as an entertaining look at what other ladies are going through. You may find vindication ("amen, sister") or put it down, relieved that you aren' t "as crazy as her" or that your man isn't a complete cad. Organized by topics, including love, sex, beauty, lying, and listening, this is the ultimate look into the mind of today's modern woman.

Book Description
Do Not Resuscitate. D N R. Is this what it'll take, sticking a front yard lawn sign into the mud to get the entire world to understand I want a day off, from everything? The daily broadcasts, past, present, Orwellian future that recharges itself faster than a twenty four hour news cycle. Everything.Let's face it, whatever he says that she says that I said keeps everybody in business. Is it me or am I hearing "close enough for now" too often? Imagine the ensuing chaos, the incredibly long lines at mental health clinics across the nation if everybody settled for "close enough" and "good enough" instead of reaching for the stars. Would you want to sleep in an apartment building whose architectural framework was built on the guidelines of "good enough, for now"?I understand how trying to cross a bridge before reaching it might cause one trouble but waiting until the last possible moment to pay the tender isn't my way of ensuring a worry-free float down the river. Is it yours?Making your way through life at the speed of a sloth might work for some but, for anyone who has a liquid ounce of creative juice on the brain, skipping between the raindrops, expecting to remain dry until reaching your front doorstep, is a recipe for disaster.This book is an observational essay written with the foreknowledge that whatever I say will be repeated differently by him and, in another way, by her. Today's rules of candor, the self evident right to be yourself, have become a stage prop rigged to open up a path to dialog. Everybody wants to join the party, attendance on a resume will look good, and simply because the invitation was lost in the mail doesn't mean you're not welcome.We live in a freelance, divided state of interruption and misinterpretation. That's Not What I Said is my essay of opinions, my observations, my humorous attempt at getting you to see that as much as you want to believe we're not alike, we are. After reading this book, hearing you reach similar conclusion, of course, in your own royalty-free words in place of mine, let's hope we don't sue one another because of copy write infringement.And then what?Poof. I mean, what do you expect? You're standing in your front yard again. You know the neighbors are watching from their living room window, they can see you talking to yourself as clearly as the raindrops dripping from your nose. You don't have to hear what they're saying to one another because you've heard it before."There he goes again, that damn fool, sticking his DNR sign into the mud."He said she said I said. Still, you know they've got one thing correct. You are talking to yourself. And you already know that at the next patio barbecue they'll comment on how they saw your disheveled framework of a human being standing in the rain, muddied and mumbling nonsense to yourself exactly the way you did the last time and the time before that. Of all the neighborhoods across America you had to move into a cluster of amateur lip readers.You'll let them speak their minds, perhaps suggest that they too should write an observational essay and submit it to the local newspaper's opinion page editor. And after? When they're done editing the rain-washed words that had pooled at your feet, you give your response. "That's Not What I Said".
