Rating: Summary: Don't miss this book--you'll refer to it again and again! Review: "Gutsy Girls" has become the foundation of my career strategy. Kate White's style is very readable, laced with wit and practicality. The real-life examples illustrating her basic concepts drive home simple yet powerful points. I raced through this book and have re-read parts of it since. I'm giving copies to my sisters and several work colleagues snapped it up as well. With "Games Mother Never Taught You" as a precursor and "Hardball for Women" as a follow-up, these three books are required reading for any woman wanting to succeed in her career.

Rating: Summary: Don't read this book in public... Review: ...you won't get a chance to read. Every woman who passes will want to stop and talk about it. This is the best book for a woman working in a man's world since "Games Mother Never Taught You". Kate White's breezy and readable text, chock full of real-life examples, makes her seem like a big sister who's finally telling you the good stuff. Juicy tidbits like "No, You Absolutely Do Not Have To Act Like A Man", "The Guy Secret of Never Taking Things Personally", and "The Hollywood Starlet Trick Even You Can Use" make this one of the few non-fiction books that has ever asserted its place on the top of my "to read" pile until it was finished

Rating: Summary: Absolutely Wonderful Review: Being a male, I bought this book to see what the lastest strategies being used by woman to get ahead...I found myself glued to the career-saavy advice and found it to be androgenous in most respects. Since I am a part of a management team, I need to stay abreast of stratrgy and tactics being deployed. This book by far, is the best advice offered for the individual who has a day to spare (the reading) and the desire to get ahead.
Rating: Summary: Smart girls can be both good and gutsy! Review: Hated it! The piece on Julia Roberts was opportunistic and simply proved this woman may well be short on ethics and long on selling hype. Those who chose to overlook what is awful about this book are the very people the author is seeking. Not my cup of tea! Hope my review was gutsy enough!

Rating: Summary: must have for working women everywhere Review: Highly recommended for young women new to the work force, and for those re-entering the business world, regardless of industry. Very real-life practical advice for dealing and coping with working in any business situation. Well written and easy to follow, I loan my copy to friends when they get a new job, or promotion!
Rating: Summary: Read it, Live it! Review: I am reading this book for the 3rd time. Each time I get something new that I missed the first time. Practical, real life advice for working women trying to make it in the business world. Money and time well spent!
Rating: Summary: A career essential Review: I have not only read this book several times, but I have bought it for numerous "good girls" that I have encountered in my professional career.A handy test in the first chapter will help to determine whether or not you are a good girl. White gives you a plan to break out of your people pleasing mentality. By giving lots of concrete examples from her own career, she helps to show the direct ramifications of being a good girl or conversely a gutsy girl. My favorite advice of hers is to break the rules, every day!
