Smart, successful, and abused : the unspoken problem of domestic violence and high-achieving women / by Mailis, Angela,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 159-162).Understanding the complex psychology behind the problem of powerful, brilliant women who endure domestic abuse. "If you are educated, intelligent and strong in other areas of your life, it's hard to imagine that you are a victim, but it happens. Dr. Mailis brings the intimacy and empathy of her own experiences together with her professional insights to empower women and jump-start a much-needed dialogue." - JANE FRANCISCO, editor-in-chief, Good Housekeeping. In 2016, neuroscientist Angela Mailis, a world-renowned expert on chronic pain management, was brought face to face with domestic violence when an accomplished colleague was murdered by her equally accomplished husband. It was familiar territory for Dr. Mailis, who herself had been involved in an emotionally abusive relationship for twenty-seven years. She immediately redirected her research towards what is perhaps the most puzzling form of domestic violence: the abuse endured by high-achieving women who to all appearances have everything required to stand up for themselves. These victims spend their days as the powerhouses of boardrooms, universities, clinics, and law courts. They have educations, talent, resourcefulness, and financial competence. Yet they allow themselves to be mentally dominated and emotionally and/or physically beaten by the men in their lives. How does it happen? What can be done about it? Smart, Successful & Abused is the result of Dr. Mailis' search for answers to these questions, a search that has taken her to the frontiers of medical research, into the homes and offices of successful career women caught in violent relationships, and deep into her own experience as an abused spouse. Her conclusions and advice will help entrapped women recognize and deflate the delusions that prevent them from acting in their best interests.

Women who don't wait in line : break the mold, lead the way / by Saujani, Reshma.(CARDINAL)404826;
Machine generated contents note: Introduction xi -- 1. Fail Fast, Fail First, Fail Hard 1 -- 2. Unapologetically Ambitious 21 -- 3. Don't Worry if They Don't Like You 37 -- 4. Follow Your Bliss 54 -- 5. Be Authentic 66 -- 6. Building a Sisterhood for the Twenty-First Century 86 -- 7. Taking It to the Streets 103 -- Conclusion 128 -- Acknowledgments 131 -- Notes 136." There's never been a better time to be a woman. We live in an era when girls are told they can do anything. So why aren't we seeing more women rising to the top ranks of corporations and the government? Why don't our girls have more women in leadership roles to look up to? Women Who Don't Wait In Line is an urgent wake-up call from politico and activist Reshma Saujani. The former New York City Deputy Public Advocate and founder of the national nonprofit Girls Who Code argues that aversion to risk and failure is the final hurdle holding women back in the workplace. Saujani advocates a new model of female leadership based on sponsorship--where women encourage each other to compete, take risks, embrace failure, and lift each other up personally and professionally. Woven throughout the book are lessons and stories from accomplished women like Susan Lyne, Randi Zuckerberg, Mika Brzezinski, and Anne-Marie Slaughter, who have faced road blocks and overcome them by forging new paths, being unapologetically ambitious, and never taking no for an answer. Readers are also offered a glimpse into Saujani's personal story, including her immigrant upbringing and the insights she gleaned from running a spirited campaign for U.S. Congress in 2010. Above all else, Women Who Don't Wait In Line is an inspiring call from a woman who is still deep in the trenches. Saujani aims to ignite her fellow women--and enlist them in remaking America. "--
