I’ve been reading a lot of ‘Alternative Workday’ and ‘Getting Into Freelancing’ type books and this one, although tackling the broadest spectrum, was my favorite. She’s a funny, entertaining writer, at times a bit repetitive but mostly informative and knowledgeable. Checklists at the end of each chapter allow you to skim sections that might not appeal to you, as well as to keep you on track.

It’s written as a guide to women, however, and aside from a few “how to deal with harassment” and “make sure you dress professionally” paragraphs, I didn’t find the information that gender-specific. I did take serious offense to the repeated uses of “Estrogen” as an adjective, something I really could have done without.
