Title: Some good advice, but with condescending tone.
Review: There must be better advice books for female faculty available...aren't there? Maybe not since this one was recommended by a friend. I found some of the advice very comforting (e.g. that young male students will challenge young female faculty), mainly because it helped me feel like my experiences were not all my fault, but were a common part of life for young female faculty. But some of her advice is just odd (e.g. don't ride your bike to work if it makes you stand out). Throughout the book, she refers to herself as "Ms. Mentor" (e.g. "Ms. Mentor thinks...", "Ms. Mentor recommends..."), which I found a little hard to take.
Is the review positive or negative?
