I am the author, so of course I think it is inspiring and rate it a 10! :-) But I am using this means to let people know that this book, published in 1986, has technical information that is hopelessly out of date. There are lots of good ideas for businesses to start at home that are still relevant, and there is a lot of thought about women's issues that are addressed by working at home, but eleven years later there are many more options available than there were when I wrote it. All things considered, you'll do better to look for a more recent book (although I don't know of any slanted specifically for women) and although Amazon will look for used copies for you, they are almost impossible to find. --Patricia McConne
