every human being's future. Without money, a woman
is powerless.
The counsel he offers is blunt. His tactics are prac-
tical. The overall strategy is to help an individual be-
come financially secure by beating the system.
Steele was shocked as his only child, a daughter,
grew. At every turn, society, school, church attempted
to make her into "a polite domestic," Thus, the overall
tone of the book feels hie a training manual for female
guerrillas who are outnumbered eight to one in the
corporate management war.
At the end, Steele resorts to a variation of Tough
Love. He exposes, then ravages, cultural myths and
fairy tales that women, and men, have bought into.
The purpose? So that a woman can make realistic
choices about her career path and life's goals. Bravo!
FROM THE AUTHOR
For the past 30 years I've worked in major corpora-
tions. This book is about how the corporate world
really works. It's everything, and much, much more,
that I've explained to women who were my friends and
my daughter. They were all bright, young college
grads or college dropouts. Each asked for help in deal-
ing with manipulative people at work. I explained how
The System works, then how to Beat The System.

LENGTHY EXCERPTS
The key point to understanding how The System
works is simple, it's money. Major corporations are the
only kinds of organizations that can pay $60k to
women under 30, They are the only ones that do pay
$150k to women of 37. They are the only places where
a woman can make enough money so that she is the
person who gets to decide how to spend the rest of her
life.
What You're Going To Learn. Unlike men,
women despise playing politics. To understand why of-
fice politics are necessary, and normal, first you'll
learn how the world really works. As startling as this
may seem, the world does not work the way you were
led to believe by parents, preachers, professors and
politicians.
The next thing you are going to find out is why men
are always in charge. Then you'll discover some sur-
prising things about how biology, plus the brain-
washing our culture subjects females to, influences
you and your behavior inside the corporation. Finally,
you will learn that men really are animals. Once you
understand this, you'll easily grasp the specifics of of-
fice politics, in short, how you can beat the system.
The goal is to have you (a) understand the reality of
being female in the corporate world (b) accept the re-
ality of being female in the corporate world. Once you
understand, and accept, you'll be able to use the tech-
niques, strategy and tactics in this book to make
enough money so that you can:
(1) Leave the corporate world and follow your bliss
(2) Stay in the corporate world and make $150k
(3) Stay in the corporate world and make $60k doing a
job you enjoy while easily defeating office politicians who
try to make your life miserable.
