Collaboratively written by Tina Schwager and Michele Schuerger, Cool Women, Hot Jobs... And How You Can Go For It, Too! is an superbly presented anthology of interviews with women in a wide variety of exciting and fun careers, ranging from choreography and planning weddings, to dolphin training, working for the FBI, writing, fashion design, serving as a fighter pilot, and many more. An upbeat, motivational book of limitless possibilities, Cool Women, Hot Jobs is very highly recommended for young women seeking to enter the workforce, and will prove a popular addition to both school and community Jobs/Careers reference collections.

The women profiled in "Cool Women, Hot Jobs" do more than talk about their great jobs, they talk about how they got there, what worked, what didn't, and what they learned along the way. Think of them as "life coaches" with an inside track. Tina Landon, who choreographs award-winning videos for J-Lo, Janet Jackson, Ricky Martin, etc., reminds readers that even while she was performing in videos, she was cleaning houses and working in restaurants to make ends meet. Courtney Macavinta, a Web editorial director, points to the digital divide and how Latina girls like her have a traditionally low entry rate into college. WNBA guard Betty Lennox reveals that she had to adjust to the difference between college ball and the hard-core level of play and expectation at the pro level. It is clear, however, that these women love what they do. They encourage readers to take positive risks, and set and plan to achieve goals, one step at a time.

With its great stories, solid advice, and goal-setting (and getting) tips, "Cool Women, Hot Jobs" is the perfect gift for pre-teens and teens and the right book for teachers and counselors to have on hand when encouraging girls to think about (and shape) their own future, today. Highly recommended!

Inspiring! I loved the information provided by these women about what it takes to succeed!!
All teenage girls should read this book!

When I read this book I thought it was like any other girl help book but this one was different. I used to be shy but now I am strong and have confidence in myself. I used to be a tad overweight but now I am at my comfortable weight w/ a lifetime of healthy eating ahead of me. I also learned the appropriate way to exercise w/o strain. It was a very good book and I think I've read it over about 12 times now.I recommended it to all my friends and they said it was the best book they have read.

I love this book--good, solid information, easy to read, fun format. I recommend it for any girl who is interested in health and fitness!

In this book, Gutsy Girls, you will find that the girls have a lot of guts. I recommend this book to girls who love sports because it is about sports. One of the parts I liked was Beth Rodden's story. She was a rock climber and she said that rock climbing doesn't only include physical strength it also requires mental strength.

Gutsy Girls is a good book. It has many parts with many people. I recommend this book for 5th and 6th graders. I like this book because it has a variety of different sports and activities.

I loved this book! Its very inspiring. I want to do stuff like that when i grow up so this was a good read for me.
