Book Description
"So you are suggesting, what? That men do not tailgate?" an observer asked. "No. He's not suggesting any such thing," another observer interjected. "But let's be clear, at least in my opinion, tailgating is failing to have an assured clear stopping distance from the vehicle in front of you." Another observer, a woman, stated that she almost always tailgates in late evenings because it is dark and is often the only one of only two or three vehicles on that dark, lonely roadway. For her it is about a real need to tailgate, to be close. So why do women tailgate? The simple reason for their tailgating behavior is that they are selfish. The not-so-simple reason for their tailgating behavior is that they are egoistic. The tailgater's desire flowing from her volitional behavior is egoistic if, and only if, it is something that interests her because it is important or affects her and it reasonably benefits her to the exclusion of everyone else. However, the philosopher Spinoza suggested that ethical egoism is a behavior in which everyone ought to seek their own advantage. Why do women tailgate? The philosopher Epicurus suggested that ethics is a form of egoistic hedonism, in that the only thing that is intrinsically valuable is one's own pleasure; anything else that has value is valuable merely to securing pleasure for oneself. Another observer said, "Perhaps, because something within her is sending bad or confusing signals. I am suggesting that those tailgating drivers may be getting mixed or confusing cellular signals. That is, in relation to their extracellular matrix, which is a collection of sugars, proteins, as well as other molecules, which is a place where signals affecting cell progression and mental process resurge."

Book Description
In the past, sport, particularly football, has been defined as a male domain. Women’s interest stereotypically ranges from gentle tolerance to active resistance. But increasingly, women are proudly identifying themselves as supporters of their teams, and have become highly desirable audiences for sport organizations and merchandisers. Football provides a unique site at which to examine the complex interplay between three theoretical areas: identity formation and maintenance, commercialization of cultural practices, and gender hegemony. This book explores how women experience their fandom, and what barriers exist for the female fan.

Book Description
On football weekends in the United States, thousands of fans gather in the parking lots outside of stadiums, where they park their trucks, let down the gates, and begin a pregame ritual of drinking and grilling. Tailgating, which began in the early 1900s as a quaint picnic lunch outside of the stadium, has evolved into a massive public social event with complex menus, extravagant creative fare, and state-of-art grilling equipment. Unlike traditional notions of the home kitchen, the blacktop is a highly masculine culinary environment in which men and the food they cook are often the star attractions. Gridiron Gourmet examines tailgating as shown in television, film, advertising, and cookbooks, and takes a close look at the experiences of those tailgaters who are as serious about their brisket as they are about cheering on their favorite team, demonstrating how and why the gendered performances on the football field are often matched by the intensity of the masculine displays in front of grills, smokers, and deep fryers.

Book Description
This groundbreaking, deeply reported work from CNBC’s Julia Boorstin reveals the key characteristics that help top female leaders thrive as they innovate, grow businesses, and navigate crises —“a must-read for all leaders as they consider the future of work” (Eve Rodsky, New York Times bestselling author of Fair Play and Find Your Unicorn Space) Julia Boorstin was thirteen when her mother told her that, by the time she grew up, women could be just as powerful as men, “captains of industry, running the biggest companies!” A decade later, working at a top business publication and seeing the dearth of women in positions of leadership, Boorstin assumed her mom had been wrong. But over the following two decades as a TV reporter and creator of CNBC’s Disruptor 50 franchise, interviewing, and studying thousands of executives, she realized that a gender-equity utopia shouldn’t be a pipe dream. Yes, women faced massive social and institutional headwinds, and struggled with double standards and what psychologists call “pattern matching.” Yet those who thrived, Boorstin found, shared key commonalities that made them uniquely equipped to lead, grow businesses, and navigate crises. They were highly adaptive to change, deeply empathetic in their management style, and much more likely to integrate diverse points of view into their business strategies, filling voids that their male counterparts had overlooked for generations. By utilizing those strengths, they had invented new business models, disrupted industries, and made massive profits along the way. Here, in When Women Lead, Boorstin brings together the stories of over sixty of those female CEOs and leaders, and provides “critical insights into how women-founded companies begin, operate, and prosper” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). Her combination of narrative and research reveals how once-underestimated characteristics, from vulnerability and gratitude to divergent thinking, can be vital superpowers—and that anyone can work these approaches to their advantage. Featuring new interviews with Katrina Lake, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jenn Hyman, Whitney Wolfe Herd, Lena Waithe, Shivani Siroya, Julia Collins, and more, Boorstein’s revelatory book “lays out a new, inclusive vision for leadership and our world at large that we all will benefit from” (Arianna Huffington, Founder & CEO, Thrive).
