Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office: 101… by Lois P. Frankel
This had some great advice for avoiding simple mistakes that many women make and that men sometimes make too. The author focuses on the difference between nice girls and women and doesn't try to get women to emulate men. There were quite a few mistakes that I regularly make that I had no idea diminished my credibility but could be easily fixed. I plan on putting this to good use.
I would definitely recommend this book to any woman entering the work force and even some men that I know that make some of these mistakes.… (more)

Here's the thing about this book. It has a lot of great tips—for both men and women—on how to behave in the workplace. I disagreed with a couple of them, but this book is generally quite useful.
But I didn't like the "nice girls" theme. Maybe I was just lucky as a kid, but I was not raised to be a "nice girl." I wasn't taught to be quiet, to avoid being too aggressive, or to be considerate to others at my own expense. The only "you're a girl and this is the way things are" instruction I got was that fun female anatomy stuff. Sure, I have some nice-girl qualities—a lot more than I thought I did before reading this book—but those are personality facets, not learned behaviors. It irritated me that Frankel repeatedly lumps all women into the nice-girl category. Probably because I haven't overcome all of my tomboyishness yet, and I still recoil sometimes when I'm associated with anything typically girly. (And I kind of feel like Frankel is discouraging this aim I've had since I started working to embrace being a woman rather than disassociating myself from all girly tendencies, because apparently, to succeed in today's business world, you have to do it by exhibiting manly qualities.)
There's another reason I don't think I was quite the right audience for this book, but I'd be breaking a couple of Frankel's guidelines if I talked about them here. See, I learned stuff from this book.… (more)
