This book wasn't written for women who want to complain about the game.
It was written for women who intend to win it.
Almost every woman who's been steamrolled at work says the same thing: the signs were there. The meeting she wasn't invited to. The credit that quietly moved to someone else's name. The "friendly advice" that was really a warning shot.
Robert Greene's The 48 Laws of Power exposed the strategies men have used for centuries to dominate, influence, and control. This book turns every one of those laws around — translated into plain-language, same-day tactics for the woman navigating a workplace that was never built for her.
Not theory. Not history lessons. Hundreds of direct strategies to grow your power, defend it, and go from prey to hunter — while there's still time to change the outcome.

Do I need to read the original 48 Laws of Power first?
No. This book stands completely on its own. It's based on the NY Times bestseller, but every law has been rebuilt from a woman's vantage point by Mary Robbins — 20+ years thriving in male-dominated engineering and tech, now a trusted advisor to executives.
