The 21st century workplace is broken, with massive, systemic problems when it comes to women. We are still backing into a workplace built for the single income, male led household of the 1950s. And it’s not working, especially for women.
In the Company of Men: How Women Can Succeed in a World Built Without Them takes on the NFL, the world of venture capital, Hollywood, the Catholic Church, food production, and the pornography industry—just a few of the heavily male-dominated spaces in which women have had to chip away at existing structures to build a better place that works for all.
The stories of the women dismantling and re-imagining these spaces will inspire you to reconsider the spaces in which you live and work, and find ways to make them work better for everyone.

As a woman who spent more than 30 years in the male-dominated world of financial services, I had to learn how to survive by trial and error--mostly error. Eileen's book provides all women with practical and heartfelt examples of how we can rewrite the narrative on building our success from within an organization. It is also a must-read for enlightened male leaders who recognize the value of creating a culture of achievement for all.
