On our reading list: The Myth of the Nice Girl
In The Myth of the Nice Girl, Fran Hauser deconstructs the negative perception of “niceness” that many women struggle within the business world. If women are nice, they are seen as weak and ineffective, but if they are tough, they are labeled a bitch.
- Niceness is a strength, not a weakness
- You can be both kind and strong
- Speak up — with empathy
