Womenomics: Write Your Own Rules for Success. How to Stop Juggling and Struggling and Finally Start Living and Working the Way You Really Want
Claire Shipman, Katty Kay, , read by Gabra Zackman. . Harper, $34.99 (0pp) ISBN 978-0-06-176792-0
Want to work less but achieve more? Coauthors Shipman and Kay argue that this is possible and desirable for women who like their jobs, but are tired of logging 60-hour work weeks and sneaking out to catch their children's Christmas plays during school hours. Kay and Shipman open the audiobook themselves by reading their introduction. Both women are broadcast journalists very experienced in narration. Why, then, do these talented women surrender the rest of the book to a third party? Gabra Zackman does a credible job with the remaining chapters, but her soothing tone seems out of place, and she has to begin alternating sections by announcing which author wrote them—a problem that didn't exist in the introduction, when both authors simply read their own material. Despite strong content, the delivery falls flat.
