EXCELLENT

I FOUND THIS BOOK TO BE VERY ENLIGHTENING. BEING IN A MALE DOMINATED UNION ENVIRONMENT MYSELF, AS A WOMEN, I FOUND MANY PARALLELS. IT GAVE ME A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE MINDSET, WHERE IT BEGAN, AND FINALLY HOW IT IS MAINTAINED EVEN TODAY. I FEEL IT WILL HELP IN COPING AND EDUCATING PEOPLE TO OPEN THEIR MINDS TO BETTER COMMUNICATION BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN IN THE WORKPLACE. IT'S NOT A FIX ALL BUT A START FOR EDUCATING THOSE THAT JUST DON'T "GET IT". HATS OFF TO DR MILKMAN FOR TAKING THE TIME TO PROBE THE SUBJECT THAT EFFECTS ALL WOMEN IN ALL WALKS OF LIFE. THANK YOU!
