Customer Reviews

Wisdom beyond the design field.

I bought this to enhance my knowledge of women's influence in the architectural and design industries, but found I learned much more that I could apply to all my other marketing to women research and writings. I can't recommend this book enough. My favorite quote: "This book is less about the 'ascendancy of women' than it is about the growing value of those sensibilities commonly associated with women." Thus - we can learn from women's ways, and men are by no means "hopeless" on this front. Inclusion and shared exploration.
