Women Angry At Work
I know it doesn’t seem fair, but getting angry at work can be good if you’re a man and bad if you’re a woman.
A man who gets angry at work may be admired for it. Yet a woman who showsangerin the office is often seen as “out of control” and “incompetent.” That’s according to a new study from Yale University.
As part of the research, people watched videos ofjobinterviews and rated the status of the candidates based on how they reacted in various situations.
When men got angry on the tapes, people assumed they made a lot ofmoneyand were high-powered executives. When the women got angry, people believed they were low-ranking employees and were unprofessional.
I don’t understand that at all. I’ve been around a lot of very powerful women and when they get mad, they sure don’t lose any respect. The people around them know they mean business and have never, ever thought they were incompetent.
I don’t recommend being angry all the time, but when it happens occasionally, whether you’re a man or a woman people know you’re not happy and they sure learn to get out of your way.

- There's a thread for good books in the Resources folder, but it doesn't target books for businesswomen particularly, so I figured I'd start such a thread here.
It doesn't matter how successful you are in your business - it's always possible to learn something new.
In subsequent posts I give Table of Contents and brief descriptions for various titles - most of them devoted to the businesswoman - and sometimes a review. If anyone else has read a review, or has read the book and found it useful, please comment!

Deborah Tannen, PhD
1994
You say something at a meeeting, it is ignored, then someone else says the same thing and everyone embraces it as a marvelous idea. You devote yourself to a project but don't get credit for the results. You work around the clock to avoid a crisis, but your efforts are not recognized because no one notices a crisis that never occurs. YOu give what you think are clear instructions, but the job is not done, or is done wrong. ...
Work is a special world because as we talk to get our jobs done, we are also being evaluated. How we get others to do what we want, and how we accept or avoid responsibility for mistakes, display or challenge authority, reveal or conceal what we don't know -- all affect how we are regarded and rewarded.
