Women React To Ivanka Trumps Women Who Work Book
Women React To Ivanka Trumps Women Who Work Book Since hitting bookstores and e-reader accounts last week, Ivanka Trumps new book, Women Who Work Rewriting the Rules for Success, has already become a New York Times bestseller and, not all that surprisingly, a major source of controversy. Now that Trump has essentially rebranded herself as the self-appointed champion of working mothers everywhere (a move that was purportedly ordained by her fashion lines absatzwirtschaft team, sources have told the Times and Elle), some have wondered whether the First Daughter might actually have the potential to become the behind-the-scenes ally women need in an administration dominated by aggressively male views and decision making.Inarguably, her feminist shift is one drenched in commercial intent. But if the result could be having a higher priority distribution policyd on womens needs in the White House, does the end justify the means?If the reaction many working moms have had to Trumps Women Who Work treatise so far is any indicator no. The book is being panned by critics and moms alike as out of touch when it comes to the reality of the average American mom i.e., the one who cant afford to outsource childcare and housekeeping like Trump does. For all her pages of talk on how she manages to balance a family with a successful career, Trump uses the word nanny only once, instead positioning herself as someone who achieves solely from a place of ambition, not privilege. Its something she (not unlike dear old dad) has been criticized for before, but failing to acknowledge the working women (many of them moms themselves) who make her lifestyle possible in a book about working women is a pretty startling oversight.
