Armed with an internet connection and plenty of creativity and ingenuity, they prove that it is possible to redefine the nine-to-five work paradigm and create a flourishing career that is flexible and fulfilling outside the corporate structure. \u003cbr\u003e The thirteen women--from diverse countries such as Uganda, Venezuela, Poland, Palestine, and the Philippines--approach independent work in different ways, but are all motivated by the same impulses--to escape the drudgery of office life, to have control of their time, and to enjoy the freedom of working for themselves. Importantly, many discover that--outside of the office--it is possible to triumph over global pay disparities that favor men. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eWomentality\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e is not a book about people who do not work--on the contrary, these women work hard and their stories illustrate how they overcame challenges to achieve their goals--whether they sought freedom to travel, to spend more time with the family, escape demeaning office politics, or simply to control their career. \u003cbr\u003e The essays in \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eWomentality\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e prove that a life of independence is not reserved for elite, American workers.
