BODACIOUS: An AOL Insider Cracks the Code to Outrageous Success for Women

Mary E. Foley, with Martha Finney. . Amacom, $24 (256pp) ISBN 978-0-8144-7131-9

Foley, who spent a decade working for AOL, is now a consultant and coach who encourages women to be "bodacious"—bold, audacious and courageous. Based largely on her experience at AOL, Foley offers generic strategies for women eager to advance in today's competitive economy. Primarily targeting women starting their own companies or job hunting, Foley urges readers to network extensively, quickly move on from rejection, find mentors, scout for talent. While Foley's advice will help some readers, her title is somewhat deceptive; she talks about her experiences at AOL without providing much of an "inside" view. (Sept.)
