For many women, getting ahead in the workplace can be a very daunting task.

However, advertising CEO Gay Gaddis takes inspiration from other trailblazing women, risk takers who developed their power through knowledge, hard work, excellence and good will, and owned their power to face their challenges as leaders in their families, workplace and communities.

She also shares her own experiences and recommends an action plan for more women to attain that same Cowgirl Power and showcase their mettle in both their work and personal lives.

I really enjoyed in every chapter it starts off with a interesting story of cowgirl of old. Very well written. Interesting and useful advice that I will definitely implement.

This is one of those essential books to read by a successful woman who clearly knows her stuff. I really enjoyed reading this book; thank you for the opportunity!

I loved the "get out there and do what you gotta do" message that was evident throughout this book. I know little about CowGirls and the historical accounts of the women shared in this book just gives you a different perspective on their accomplishments in those times. My personal wake up call came in chapter one on "personal power" and chapter six on the importance of being financially savy because I struggle with those given that I work mostly for non-profits.
The author draws from her setbacks, her life experiences and this makes it easier to relate to. Thank you NetGalley for the eARC.
