Congratulations on your bronze book award!
Synopsis
Where the Mean Girls Go is about the complicated and hurtful relationships between women. Unfortunately, women’s harshest critics are other women. Laura shares memorable stories and hard-earned lessons. Her book is full of honesty, humility, humor and self-reflection. We have all been left out, not chosen, and not invited. We have been the target of whispering and pointing. Mean girls relish causing discomfort and emotional anguish, and it is usually aimed at other women.
Ambitious, pushy, bossy, intense, intimidating, and dare I say bitchy. What successful woman has not been called one or more of these over the years? Most are stereotypical, all are demeaning. If we get branded, whether we deserve it or not, our professional reputation can be damaged. Sexist? It can be, but too often it is other women elbowing us, labeling us, and creating obstacles to our success. Boys ignore us, girls score us; it is the law of the playground.
