Working women today are better educated and more well qualified than ever before. Yet men still predominate in the corporate world. In Real Confidence, Claire Shipman and Katty Kay argue that the key reason is confidence. Combining cutting-edge research in genetics, gender, behavior, and cognition?with examples from their own lives and those of other successful women in politics, media, and business, Kay and Shipman go beyond admonishing women to ?lean in? Instead, they offer the inspiration and practical advice women need to close the gap and achieve the careers they want and deserve.
