How Girls Achieve
Author: Sally A. Nuamah
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674240146
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 217
Book Description
Winner of the Jackie Kirk Award Winner of the AESA Critics’ Choice Award “Blazes new trails in the study of the lives of girls, challenging all of us who care about justice and gender equity not only to create just and inclusive educational institutions but to be unapologetically feminist in doing so. Seamlessly merging research with the stories and voices of girls and those who educate them, this book reminds us that we should do better and inspires the belief that we can. It is the blueprint we’ve been waiting for.” —Brittney C. Cooper, author of Eloquent Rage “Nuamah makes a compelling and convincing case for the development of the type of school that can not only teach girls but also transform them...An essential read for all educators, policymakers, and parents invested in a better future.” —Joyce Banda, former President of the Republic of Malawi This bold and necessary book points out a simple and overlooked truth: most schools never had girls in mind to begin with. That is why the world needs what Sally Nuamah calls “feminist schools,” deliberately designed to provide girls with achievement-oriented identities. And she shows how these schools would help all students, regardless of their gender. Educated women raise healthier families, build stronger communities, and generate economic opportunities for themselves and their children. Yet millions of disadvantaged girls never make it to school—and too many others drop out or fail. Upending decades of advice and billions of dollars in aid, Nuamah argues that this happens because so many challenges girls confront—from sexual abuse to unequal access to materials and opportunities—go unaddressed. But it isn’t enough just to go to school. What you learn there has to prepare you for the world where you’ll put that knowledge to work. A compelling and inspiring scholar who has founded a nonprofit to test her ideas, Nuamah reveals that developing resilience is not a gender-neutral undertaking. Preaching grit doesn’t help girls; it actively harms them. Drawing on her deep immersion in classrooms in the United States, Ghana, and South Africa, Nuamah calls for a new approach: creating feminist schools that will actively teach girls how and when to challenge society’s norms, and allow them to carve out their own paths to success.

Pages : 92
Book Description
Can I Ask You a Question? What would life be like if you knew exactly how to attract women? If you could get the girls you've always wanted? If you could be a man women were sexually drawn to... would that change your life? Hi, my name is Zac Miller. In my many years here on earth I've had my share of experiences with women. And like most men, I wasn't born knowing what attracts women or what they want, but there came a point in my life where I was fed up and did something about it. Many men just say "women are crazy," and they leave it at that, not trying to understand them. I couldn't have that... While women are in fact crazy, I have put together a book which explains what they want, what attracts them to men, and how you can start attracting women. It's taken me many, many years, and many, many sleepless nights, but after all was said and done, I believe I have made the best book available when it comes teaching men everything it takes to successfully attract women. Here's What You'll Learn in This Book Chapter 1: Appearance - While it's been this way for many years, the advent of website profiles and dating apps has made a masculine appearance much more important for men in this day and age. Here I share with you the many ways you can appear more attractive to women, as well the ideal body type women are looking for in a man (hint: it's not abs). Chapters 2 & 3: Attractive & Unattractive Qualities - Ever notice how women are attracted to jerks and "bad boys?" It's because they display many attractive qualities women desire. In these chapters, I share with you what exactly these qualities are, while also going over attributes you need to stay away from, which push women away. Chapter 4 & 5: Talking to Women - Next, we go over how to talk to women and connect with them, in turn attracting them to you. I show you how to approach girls, get their contact information, and how to conversant with them afterwards to secure a date. I go over the number one mistake most guys make during this process, as well as the one quality that will put you above all other men when talking to women (hint: it's not a lifted truck). Chapter 6: The Date - We then go over how to handle the date. I show you exactly how to ask for the date, where to go, and what to do during the date. This includes conversation topics that release dopamine (feel good) chemicals in a woman's brain, as well as techniques you can employ during the date to keep her attention. I then go over what to do after the date to keep her interested in you for the long run to make her your girlfriend. Chapter 7: The What If's? - What if she flakes on the date? What if she says maybe? What if she starts losing interest? All these questions and more are handled in this chapter, showing you the exact techniques to employ to handle each situation, which will keep a woman interested in you. Appendix - I provide 70 opening messages, original to this book, to use when texting girls. These are unique, funny messages, which will make you stand out from other men. As a FREE bonus, only to buyers of this book, I provide you with my special report, Subconscious Attraction: 3 Techniques that Will Attract Her Subconsciously. These are perfect to use during the first date! If you want to become more successful with women and start getting the girls you've always desired, you can't risk not knowing this information.

Nice Girls Just Don't Get It
Author: Lois P. Frankel
Publisher: Harmony
ISBN: 0307590488
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
Offering the same brand of practical, no-holds-barred, expert advice that made Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office an international million-copy bestseller, Nice Girls Just Don't Get It teaches us the skills we need to turn from a nice girl into a winning woman, not just in our careers but in our relationships, families, and everyday lives. Have you ever felt invisible? Taken advantage of? Reluctant (or unable) to articulate what you really want? If so, join the club. The nice girls club. Nice girls—that's right, girls—are those more concerned with pleasing others than with addressing their own needs and haven't yet learned how to overcome the childhood messages cultural stereotypes keeping them from getting their voices heard, their needs met, and the lives they want. This book will turn those nice girls into winning women. That is, women who factor their own needs in with those of others, confront those who treat them disrespectfully, maintain healthy and mutually beneficial relationships with appropriate boundaries— and as a result, are happier and more successful in every area of their life. In 2004, Lois Frankel blew the lid off so many of our long-held ideas about gender and success with her bestselling Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office, which went on to become such a huge phenomenon, the term "nice girls" has secured a place in our cultural lexicon. Here, Frankel teams up with negotiation expert Carol Frohlinger to bring this bestselling advice out of the workplace and provide a broader set of skills that any woman—whether a CEO or stay-at-home mom—can use to win anywhere, with anyone. Presented in the straightforward, digestible format that helped make Nice Girl's Don't Get the Corner Office an instant hit, Frankel and Frohlinger outline seven practical strategies and 99 supporting tactics that every winning woman should know. By the time you've finished reading this book, you'll be able to: • Get your husband to do his half of the household chores—without being made to feel like a nag. • Stop overextending yourself by taking on all the unpleasant tasks no one on your volunteer board, or your team at work will go near. • Win an argument with your mother in law about who will be hosting Christmas dinner. • Have the courage to send back a meal that isn’t prepared the way you’d ordered it. • Confront a colleague who is shirking responsibility or taking credit for your work. • Convince a sales person to reduce a fee, waive a surcharge, or honor a store credit. • Question a doctor’s course or treatment or request a second opinion, instead of simply going along in order to be a “good” patient. • Firmly but politely bow out of an extravagant vacation to celebrate a friend’s birthday that you simply can’t afford–without feeling guilty about it. And so much more. A must-read for anyone who's ever felt taken advantage of by a friend or family member, unappreciated by a spouse or partner, or exploited by a vindictive neighbor or co-worker, Nice Girls Just Don't Get It offers women the indispensable knowledge and skills to get the things they want, the respect they've earned, and the success they deserve.

'My deepest wish is that reading this book makes you want to do cool stuff, make plans, launch that business, pack your bags, shave your head, ride that horse, date that hottie, apply for that job, chuck that party - and, most of all, get your girls out, whatever that means for you.' 'This memoir is so full of life and its ups and downs, you will start reading it again as soon as you finish. We are all richer for knowing Lucy.' Wendy Whiteley OAM 'Lucy tells powerful stories of human tenacity and love; she inspires all with her insight into the human spirit.' Bernard Salt AM

Whether they conducted their research in life or in the lab, experts Tucker Max and Dr. Geoffrey Miller have spent the last 20+ years learning what women really want from their men, why they want it, and how men can deliver those qualities.

Just honest, straightforward talk about the most ethical, effective way to pursue the win-win relationships you want with the women who are best for you. Much of what they've discovered will surprise you, some of it will not, but all of it is important and often misunderstood. So listen up, and stop being stupid!

A woman’s field guide to the new frontier of professional development—working with other women Women-to-women relationships in the workplace are . . . complicated. When they’re good, they’re great. But when they’re bad, they can ruin your day, your week—even your year.

It’s about transforming a toxic relationship into one that benefits and supports both of you. This book is also for women who engage in mean behavior . . . but don’t know it. After all, who hasn’t gossiped about a female coworker? Who hasn’t rolled her eyes in the presence of a woman she doesn’t like? Who hasn’t scanned another woman head to toe—which is just a nonverbal way of saying, “You’ve just been judged”? The authors provide invaluable advice to the more subtle ways of being mean—even if they’re not intended. With a workforce composed of a higher percentage of women than ever, workplace dynamics have changed. Crowley and Elster cover every conceivable scenario, providing critical advice on how to rise above the fray and move forward professionally.
