I read this in forty minutes. It's very fast to read because a lot of pages are intentionally blank so you can write things down and reflect on the last piece.
There is a lot of great, quick info on dynamic women in the book. It claims it is not a male-bashing book, but a female applauding type of book. It is more quick spurts of information coming at you in white & pink.

I LOVE the title and often show bring it along to Ladies Who Launch events, just for the sake of the title. Everyone always nods their head when I read it out!
I love the concept and shock value of the title, but the content is a bit light.
There is one particularly good section on Georgia O-Keefe, the world renowned painter talking about how she almost didn't continue painting because she didn't feel she'd ever be a master. She was judging herself compared to others and h...more

One of those books you read that illicits spontaneous cries of "YES!", before you can stop yourself. Funny, too.
As soon as I read the title of this book, the first thing I thought of was ‘Damn straight!’ and I am sure many, many other women thought that to themselves upon first glance, but If Women Ran the World Sh*t Would Get Done is a great deal more than just a completely spot on, oh-so-true title; it is a collection of wonderful, amazing, stupendous, inspiring, butt-kicking things that women have done, continue to do, and your motivation and inspiration to do all of the butt-kicking things you want to...more
Don't let the title fool you. This is not some hateful diatribe against men. For Shelly, the book is really a positive celebration of the accomplishments of women. In the book, Shelly offers real-life stories, lists of amazing things women do, inspirations, What-if questions, and an interactive section that galvanizes readers to reach for more by writing their own visions for the world. For women and men alike, I highly recommend this inspiring author's work.
I'm going to "route" this through my workplace, and encourage my female colleagues to pass it along to other butt-kicking women they know in our building! This was a fun read, with some websites worth looking into, as well. Rock on, ladies!!
This is a book I love to pick up whenever I need a boost. I love the short snippets and quotes that really speak to the challenges women face and how we overcome them!
This book is part comedy, part inspiration. for those of us who never stop and ask what about me? at the end of a long day working for someone else. There are spots to add your own goals if you like, I just chose to read it cover to cover and it really does make you wonder why we don't squeeze ourselves into our own lives once in a while!
Empowering women without bashing men--very well done. Very short easy read. The book is actually meant to be used as a personal workbook/journal for the reader to recognize how "butt-kicking" great she is.
During a very emotional, uncomfortable time in my life, a girlfriend gave me this book and I needed it!
