Mary B: An Untold Story of Pride and Prejudice

Katherine J. Chen

DID NOT FINISH

Did Not Finished. The writing felt forced and I didn't enjoy it. I think it is hard to take the most underdeveloped character that didn't really have any redeeming qualities and attempt to tell the Pride and Prejudice story from that perspective.

The Myth of the Nice Girl: Achieving a Career You Love Without Becoming a Person You Hate

Fran Hauser

DID NOT FINISH

Be nice, really be you but don't be nice to get ahead. I don't know; it was meandering and could have been a shorter book. Also, I didn't all the focusing on the emotions of others to get what I needed, and that "women" still need to make things work. This book isn't new. It is just reminding you what you need.

Keep the stereotypes of women who do all the female emotional labor instead of others to ensure you are nice for nice sakes and somehow manage to get ahead. It was exhausting to read. I gave up because it was all name-dropping and telling me to do what I already do in my work sphere, which is exhausting.
