how to break free and succeed as you are

Research shows that the more women succeed, the less likable they become. The minefield is doubly loaded when likability intersects with race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and parental status. Relying on extensive research and interviews, and carefully examined personal experience, it delivers an essential examination of the pressure put on women to be amiable at work, home, and in the public sphere. Rather than advising readers to make themselves likable, Menendez empowers them to examine how they perceive themselves and others and breaks down how the subjective nature of likability is riddled with cultural biases and how our demands for it hinder everyone's progress and power
