Female Firebrands: Stories and Techniques to Ignite Change, Take Control, and Succeed in the Workplace by [Mikaela Kiner]

So if you've never, ever read anything about female empowerment, sexual harassment, working mothers, and intersectionality, this is a great starting place. Otherwise, it's very basic.

I find it amazing that this book holds no punches in expressing its views. This is indeed critical in making the point and the importance of the message it would like to convey.

First, the stories of women here are inspirational. The women featured here truly deserve special mention because they represent the situation of millions of other women who are in similar situation.

Second, I really love how the book cited the implication of the current political situation in how many women are treated. This ahould be a wake up call for broader change.

Third, the book presented compelling views on how workplace has to change. The diversity of people in ghe workplace makes women’s role even more imperative in inculcating the sense of justice around us.

Since this is an audiobook, I also like to comment on how the narrator did a great job in bringing this book alive with the way it was delivered.

This wasn’t entirely what I thought it would be. It would be a great book for a female entrepreneur, just not exactly what I was looking for at this moment. The narrator was okay... just seemed unenthusiastic. I would recommend this to the right customer, just not my top pick for a hand sell.

The narration was very well done. Speed was a bit slow for me but that's pretty normal.

The content was well thought out and gave some pretty useful insights into trying to change the business world for the better. The stories were thoughtful and inspirational and I think will go over well with everyone.

All working women should read this book. Female Firebrands is about gender equality. Female Firbrands gives real life examples of inequality in the workplace, and then ways to react to these situations to fix gender inequalities. I enjoyed this book.

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

I listened to the audio version of this book and found it be narrated well. This book packs a lot of punch on how to be a woman in the modern workplace. The 13 women whose journeys were featured shared about how they managed to thrive despite sexism, power imbalance and general bias. I got some great advice and will probably listen to this again and recommend to friends.
