Stiletto Network: Inside the Women's Power Circles That Are Changing the Face of Business
Former strategist Ryckman sets out simply to chronicle the ever-growing circles of influence created by women in all industries and at all levels. Her book is filled with witty names and acronyms—the Harpies, PEWIN, Wafia—and, most important, with real-life stories of women helping other women with investment funding, for charity, or to change a part of the world. These power circles, in place since the 1990s, are strong, based as they are on the female need to become the biggest, boldest, bravest version of yourself that you can be. The last chapter covers high-level advice for starting a network. Inspiring and insightful. --Barbara Jacobs
