Womentality : Thirteen Empowering Stories by Everyday Women Who Said Goodbye to the Workplace and Hello to Their Lives by Erin WildermuthA collection of powerful, personal essays from enterprising women around the world who came to the same realization: work shouldn't have to be painful and demeaning. Armed with an internet connection and plenty of creativity and ingenuity, they prove that it is possible to redefine the nine-to-five work paradigm and create a flourishing career that is flexible and fulfilling outside the corporate structure. The thirteen women--from diverse countries such as Uganda, Venezuela, Poland, Palestine, and the Philippines--approach independent work in different ways, but are all motivated by the same impulses--to escape the drudgery of office life, to have control of their time, and to enjoy the freedom of working for themselves. Importantly, many discover that--outside of the office--it is possible to triumph over global pay disparities that favor men.
