"A succinct and savvy guide to making your way in the world, Machiavelli's Prince offers a clever conceit to deliver a raft of practical advice for women looking to make their mark and blast off the glass ceiling for good." --Suzanne Nossel, CEO of PEN America and author of Dare to Speak

Synopsis
Power is a gendered game. To get paid and promoted like a man, women are encouraged to "lean in." But leaning in can backfire in big way. So how can women achieve equal treatment in the workplace? Stacey Vanek Smith's advice: Ask Machiavelli. As it turns out, the sometimes notorious Machiavelli didn't promote being evil or immoral; he advocated using tactics that work, guided by an understanding of human nature. Smith deftly adapts those sixteenth-century insights for twenty-first-century problems, offering exactly the kind of advice today's women need. Informed by current research, interviews with women across the country, and Smith's own life experiences, Machiavelli for Women is a practical manifesto on how to empower yourself and grow in the workplace, even if the field isn't fair. Book jacket., From the NPR host of The Indicator and correspondent for Planet Money comes an "accessible, funny, clear-eyed, and practical" (Sarah Knight, New York Tim es bestselling author) g uide for how women can apply the principles of 16th-century philosopher Niccolò Machiavelli to their work lives and finally shatter the glass ceiling--perfect for fans of Feminist Fight Club , Lean In , and Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office . Women have been making strides towards equality for decades, or so we're often told. They've been increasingly entering male-dominated areas of the workforce and consistently surpassing their male peers in grades, university attendance, and degrees. They've recently stormed the political arena with a vengeance. But despite all of this, the payoff is--quite literally--not there: the gender pay gap has held steady at about 20% since 2000. And the number of female CEOs for Fortune 500 companies has actually been declining. So why, in the age of #MeToo and #TimesUp, is the glass ceiling still holding strong? And how can we shatter it for once and for all? Stacy Vanek Smith's advice: ask Machiavelli "with this delicious look at what we have to gain by examining our relationship to power" (Sally Helgesen, New York Times bestselling author). Using The Prince as a guide and with charm and wit, Smith applies Renaissance politics to the 21st century, and demonstrates how women can take and maintain power in careers where they have long been cast as second-best. " Machiavelli For Women is the ultimate battle guide for our times. Brimming with hard-boiled strategies, laced with wit, it's a must-read for every woman ready to wield power unapologetically" (Claire Shipman, coauthor of The Confidence Code ).
