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
