Has being ambitious, motivated, powerful, or determined caused people to use the infamous b word about you? Then you may want to check out am.BITCH.ous by Debra Condren. The mission of this book is to “reclaim ambition as a virtue” and to make sure that no woman is unfairly labeled for being confident and looking towards the top in the workplace.

The author reminds her readers that am.BITCH.ous is not a negative word. An am.BITCH.ous woman is:

• A woman who makes more money
• Has more power
• Gets the recognition she deserves
• Has the determination to go after her dreams and can do it with integrity

Find this book, and other similar titles in the CRL Women and Careers section. Also, check out our eLibrary on Women and Careers for additional career information on this topic.
