Book excerpt: "Self-Assertion for Women gives practical advice with realistic simple dialogues, step-by-step exercises, and illustrations from Dr. Butler's own practice. It shows how women can achieve a feminism openly and effectively without fearing ridicule or guilt; lays the groundwork for full self-realization; and offers proven solutions to common pitfalls that hinder women, such as making excuses, manipulating, overexplaining, and overapologizing. This edition contains a new chapter that shows women how to avoid being a victim by communicating about money, dealing with sexual harassment, and functioning alone in professional and social situations; it also provides additional case histories and an index to make the book easier to use in individual or group work. The principles outlined in Self-Assertion for Women apply to all women -- professionals, students, office workers, homemakers -- and to almost any situation requiring direct, effective, positive action. This is the single best guide to success without guilt in both career and personal relationships."--Back cover.
