It’s time to stop second-guessing yourself and start building the qualities that will make you an authentic, amazing leader. In the past century, women have scaled new heights in the workplace. From working as clerks and secretaries in the 1950s, women today are now holding top positions in the world’s largest corporations. Yet, women remain vastly underrepresented in leadership roles, making up only five percent of Fortune 500 CEOs, and 10 percent of top management positions in S&P 1500 companies, despite accounting for 47 percent of the labor workforce.

Where does The Unapologetic Woman rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Very necessary for young workers and young women who need a head start out in the real world.What about Sandra Murphy’s performance did you like?
GreatDid you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
ReflectAny additional comments?
I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.I received this title for free in exchange for an unbiased review. This is a guide for women to becom emotionally and intellectually mature in the work place, as well as personal relationships. I wish I would have read something like these in my early teens. This would be a great gift for a woman we love, like a daughter, or niece, or even an older woman that might be struggling with overcoming social and emotional issues.Must read!
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
That being said, I would love to see this become mandatory listening for high school seniors. Great advice, good reality check about changing one's attitudes, uplifting and empowering interviews with successful women other than the author giving the voice of experience, and suggestions how to handle sabotage and sexual harassment.
The aim is obviously for corporate America, since that is where the vast majority will be employed at some point in time. Densely packed with information, clearly presented by the narrator, I heartily recommend this one. I found myself nodding in agreement in places as I listened.
This would make a good graduation present.
Required listening for entering the workforce!

Sandra Murphy always does an amazing job! Her voice in each book reflects the subject material in a most outstanding way. This book was no exception to Sandra's rule of excellence!What insight do you think you’ll apply from The Unapologetic Woman?
I will apply every insight presented in this book. I will listen to it again several times to refresh my memory.Any additional comments?
