4 Women-Authored Books That Boosted My Career 🚀

Being a woman juggling work and a side hustle, I enjoy reading books written by women for women.

Here are 4 books written by women that inspired & and motivated me on my journey:  

🩷 Girl Boss by Sophia Amoruso

I read this book at the beginning of my career and blogging journey. I found Sophia Amoruso’s story and how she started and grew Nasty Gal quite incredible, with incredible highs and lows. There’s also a Netflix show based on the book!

Rating: 4/5

🩷 Nice Girls Don’t Get the Corner Office: Unconscious Mistakes Women Make That Sabotage Their Careers by Dr Lois Frankel

I love it because it’s more like a guidebook rather than a simple book! It begins with a self-assessment quiz, and depending on your answers, it guides you to the chapters where you can focus on improvement.

🩷 Leave Your Mark: Land Your Dream Job. Kill It in Your Career. Rock Social Media by Aliza Licht

I read this book when I was a communications assistant, and it fueled my dream of making it in the corporate communications world. If you love the Devil wears Prada, then you’ll like this book too.

Rating: 4/5

🩷 Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance by Dr Angela Duckworth

A few years into my career, I stumbled upon this book that revealed the secret to outstanding achievements: focused persistence. Despite having read this book in the middle of a burnout (when what I needed was rest and not more hustle), the book is a really good read
