<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Showing women how to use their intrinsic skills--sensitivity, emotional depth, and selflessness--to achieve success, Rubin provides the prescription for changing the rules, empowering women to use and be recognized for these inherent strengths.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>A legacy of leadership <i>for women only.</i> <p/>For centuries men have used the lessons of Machiavelli's <i>The Prince</i> to gain and hold power. Today's women, struggling to succeed in a man's world, must learn a crucial lesson of their own: men and women are not equal--and that is a woman's greatest strength. From the wars of intimacy to battles of public life, whether confronting bosses, competitors, or lovers, the greatest power belongs to the woman who dares to use the subtle weapons that are hers alone. <p/>This provocative work urges women to claim what they want and deserve, offering a bold new battle plan that celebrates a woman's unique gifts: passion and intuition, sensitivity and cunning. It draws from history's legendary female divas and poets, saints and sinners, artists and activists--who, armed with a desire for justice and a spirit of outrageousness, achieved their impossible dreams. Their lasting legacy is codified in <i>The Princessa: </i> act like a woman, fight like a woman, and life will be yours to command.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Rubin's insights are brilliant in their simplicity and effectiveness...a book sure to be underlined, dog-eared, and re-read for inspiration and aid."<br><i>--USA Today</i> <p/>"A beautiful book, full of wisdom."<br><i>--Atlanta Business Chronicle</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Harriet Rubin has worked in publishing for twenty years.
