Rating:
Summary: Fun book with valid information for women in business.
Review: How to succeed in business without a penis offers advice for women wanting to succeed in a man's world. Gives insight into male behavior, and offers strategies for women wanting to play by their own rules. Rather than explaining how to join the "old boy's club", this book provides a blueprint for building a career that exploits the myths of women in business

Summary: another terrible book
Review: This is yet another sexist book my Karen Salmansohn.The reference to "penis" in the book title is symbolic of a petty woman with unconscious disdain for men.Every book this woman writes has the same familiar,boring anti-male undertones.My wife says she got nothing from reading this book,she ended up putting the book in our box to go to the salvation army.

Summary: Funny and Mostly True
Review: This was the first book I've read of Karen Salmansohn's, and I enjoyed it. Karen comments on the business world and gives advice, and then always gives the flipside to that advice. It's mostly just humor, but there are some truths contained therein. Though the author is evidently a very successful businesswoman, I would buy this more for its humor than as direction for women in the workplace due to some of the questionable advice she gives (such as women might do well to dress sexy and use their sexuality at work...I'm not sure I concur that that is a way for women to climb the ladder nor that it helps women to be respected in the workplace). An enjoyable read that will elicit lots of chuckles.

Summary: "Great advice".....says a guy
Review: While I have little experience in the realm of women's
career/self-help/humor, I thought this book was fantastic. It's seems
to cover in a comprehensive fashion every women-in-the-workplace
dilemma I have ever heard about. In a strange way, it starts with the
most existential question first: "What do I really really want in a
career." It then works back from there to the gimmes like "is it
OK for me to flirt in the workplace?" (unequivocally yes, if only
to even things out a little bit). The book is brutally honest about
practical tactics for dealing with office issues.

Summary: funny, exciting and refreshing
Review: WOW! It is so refreshing to read a useful book for the modern business woman that has some real humor to it. This book gives anyone, rookies to veterans, the real-life tips they'll need to survive in the corporate jungle while adding a laught or two -- and all the while, the author manages to stay fairly politically correct in her opinions. Enough of those stuffy business books! This one is a perfect mix for business in the '90's.

Summary: Sales gimmick!
Review: Yet another worthless book from Karen. This author loves to take any opportunity to attack anything thats symbolically male,including in this case,the world of business which was created by men.Men should not feel guilty or apologize for that fact either,nor should they be sympathetic of the "female struggle" in business or any other domain of men.Its important to note also that men created the free-enterprise system and all business schools,as well as higher-education in general.
