Mending the Sisterhood & Ending Women's Bullying

Mending the Sisterhood & Ending Women's Bullying is an eye-opening, game-changing look at where, why, and how women are bullying, blocking, and shunning other women, from conference rooms to cul-de-sacs. Most importantly, author Susan Skog issues a positive call-to-action for all women to lift one another up, not tear each other down. Trained as a journalist, Skog shines a light on executives, attorneys, political leaders, actresses, nurses, moms' groups, bloggers, and Millennial women--all using their voices and choices to empower women around them and end women's wars. Based on extensive research and interviews with more than 35 women, including top psychologists, executive coaches, and counselors, Skog also offers powerful strategies and steps to help women everywhere say, "Enough " to mean-girl ways and, "Yes " to being magnificent women.
