The Feminine Mistake: Are We Giving Up Too Much?
Every woman should read the book “The Feminine Mistake: Are We Giving Up Too Much?” by Leslie Bennetts. Why you might ask? Because this book provides information on some hard truths we as women in a struggling society are afraid to face.
Read it with an open heart and mind. Read it with passion for your own life. Read it and then give it to your girlfriend, your mother, your sister or your daughter with instructions for her to do the same.
The hard truth is that we as women face a lot of tough choices in our lives the path is not always clear or easy; it is up to us to be informed and honest with ourselves so that we can MAKE those choices and TAKE control of our own destinies.
I have seen first hand the results of a prolonged absence from work; after my first maternity leave upon returning to work I was forced to take a far less challenging position with a lack for growth or income potential which consequentially made me miserable. Reading this book has helped me to see the steps I could, and should, have taken to secure my future with the company.
It is a juggling act without a doubt. We as women are capable of it. We are undeniably strong creatures; the more we take on in our lives the more we surprise ourselves with our accomplishments. We feel better about ourselves and then seemingly have more of ourselves to give. Fear or laziness or indecision is not acceptable. We deserve better. You deserve better. The tools and strength we need are found all around us - read the book.
You can thank me later.
