Why Women Should Rule the World

Women have the reputation of being "catty" and certainly some are. But some - I dare to guess even most - aren't. In her book, Dee Dee Myers succinctly points out the differences between male/female approaches in the workplace and in life using candor and interesting anecdotes. No matter your gender, political affiliation, or value system this book lends some insight that maybe even women couldn't have put their finger on as we meld into a "man's" world. Face it, there's hundreds of years worth of just-the-way-it's-done mentality to overcome (from both sides). Her main thesis is that since woman place value in different compartments than men and since we occupy roughly 50% of the space on the planet couldn't it be possible that women would do an equal if not better job at "ruling the world"; rule as defined however you choose - rule the land, rule the company, rule the family, rule the beach BBQ. You get the point. To be frank, the world, having been run by men, doesn't seem all that harmonious (incidentally a female desire or goal). There's no man-bashing here. Just some real straight-shootin' talk about how women (generally speaking) look at the world. If you are a woman, work with women, hire women, know any women I encourage you to read this book. I promise you'll learn something.
