About this ebook
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!
Ivanka is donating the unpaid portion of her advance and all future royalties received from Women Who Work to the Ivanka M. Trump Charitable Fund, a donor advised fund that will make grants to organizations that empower and educate women and girls.*
"This is a chatty step-by-step guide to living a happy life and getting ahead in a career." —USA Today
"The advice is spot-on for everyone, not just women." —Tony Hsieh, CEO of Zappos.com and author of Delivering Happiness
I believe that when it comes to women and work, there isn’t one right answer. The only person who can create a life you’ll love is you.
Our grandmothers fought for the right to work. Our mothers fought for the choice to be in an office or to stay at home. Our generation is the first to fully embrace and celebrate the fact that our lives are multidimensional. Thanks to the women who came before us and paved the way, we can create the lives we want to lead—which look different for each of us.
I’ve been fortunate to be able to build my career around my passions, from real estate to fashion. But my professional titles only begin to describe who I am and what I value. I have been an executive and an entrepreneur, but also—and just as importantly—a wife, mother, daughter, and friend. To me, “work” encompasses my efforts to succeed in all of these areas.
After appearing on The Apprentice years ago and receiving a flood of letters from young women asking for guidance, I realized the need for more female leaders to speak out publicly in order to change the way society thinks and talks about “women who work.” So I created a forum to do just that. This book evolves the conversation that started on IvankaTrump.com, where so many incredible women (and men!) have shared their experiences, advice, ambitions, and passions.
Women who work lead meetings and train for marathons. We learn how to cook and how to code. We inspire our employees and our children. We innovate at our current jobs and start new businesses.
Women Who Work will equip you with the best skills I’ve learned from some of the amazing people I’ve met, on subjects such as identifying opportunities, shifting careers smoothly, negotiating, leading teams, starting companies, managing work and family, and helping change the system to make it better for women—now and in the future. I hope it will inspire you to redefine success and architect a life that honors your individual passions and priorities, in a way only you can.
* The Ivanka M. Trump Charitable Fund (the “Fund”) is a donor advised fund that supports the economic empowerment of women and girls.

Ryo Cook MEN help men out all the time. Men are not true men, if they were they wouldn't ask another man for help or get the help.. So you need to change your old school thinking because just like Men empower men, women can empower women to..Yes it does say in the Bible to help another man out and not women but who is the real punk when you men get Clearence from God. Ohhhh...

She's a scam artist and Liar just as her daddy! The Trump Brand is finally Dead! Anyone who still supports Trump after this mess we are in should be embarrassed! He's a disgrace! Shame on you all who have killed the REPUBLICAN Party. I hope a real REPUBLICAN stands up and runs against him! If not and he wins another 4 years, better get ready to fight or run!!

While I am a huge Trump supporter, I refuse to believe that Ivanka Trump actually ever had to work to get what she wanted. I mean, she is a Trump! She automatically had money when she was born!
