SMART RULES FOR SMART WOMEN OF ALL CULTURES, Irreverent, provocative, hip-and always funny-this guide to power and attitude offers women an intelligent alternative to the negative messages we hear every day from magazines, television, and relatives. A Cynthia Heimel for a new generation, Susan Jane Gilman serves up uncommon wisdom and practical advice on everything from sex to politics, from turning shopping skills into a power tool to using man-catching techniques for salary negotiations. BE A SMARTMOUTH GODDESS WHEN IT COMES TO... BEAUTY: Sure, beauty has the power to excite men. But so does a box of donuts. MEN: After eons of "civilization," guys still have trouble understanding the word "no." Luckily, there's one word that's guy Kryptonite: "commitment." MONEY: Feminists have condemned capitalism as patriarchal and exploitative. They obviously never tried to buy tampons in Communist China in 1986. POLITICS: Hey, somebody's gotta rule the world. It might as well be us. About the Author
