Relegating the all or nothing, mommy-wars mentality to the 20th century, "Womenomics" offers a revolutionary new take on the largely hidden power that women have in the marketplace. Why now? Simple market forces. Companies with more women managers are more profitable, so women are topping every company's most wanted list these days just as a labor shortage is looming. At the same time, the workforce at large is demanding to work in new ways. But "Womenomics" is more than a marshalling of extraordinary evidence. It also shows women how to take advantage of this historical moment by crafting high-octane careers that don't require all-or-nothing lifestyles. Most appealing, though, are the refreshingly candid anecdotes from Shipman's and Kay's lives. They also share the stories of other professional women struggling with the same issues - women who've taken counterintuitive steps in their careers but who've carved out rewarding work-life scenarios. More than anything, the message of the book empowers and inspires.
