This is a playbook of how to play the games correctly in order to secure a job in a capitalist corporation. There is very little reference to feminism, even in the short blurb about salary negotiation. This would’ve been an easy space to discuss why negotiation is especially important for women and minorities but it’s telling that the author missed even the simplest opportunity to apply feminist thought. Instead of engaging with sexist structures that create these expectations, the author lists tips for dressing the part, showing up early, how to be a polite interviewee, and suggests swallowing your emotions so as not to contribute to the “emotional woman” stereotype. I’m not sure why this book is titled the way it is because it’s not an explicitly feminist text. Rather it seems to use feminism as a marketing ploy to pique interest from young women growing up in a “girl power” milieu. To this author, gender equality is simply more women in business suits. To us, gender equality is the eradication of social structures that create systems of oppression. If you want a step-by-step manual for how to secure your first job in a traditional setting, this might be worth checking out at your local library. But if you want an explicitly feminist text that interrogates the job market and employment through the lens of patriarchy and oppression, look elsewhere.
