12 WWW.UNWLA.ORG “НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ЛЮТИЙ 2019 broader view because the themes and subthemes the author develops are relevant to all women, no mat- ter where they happen to work an d what profes- sions they choose to work in. The introduction to Lose the Gum pro- vides a rationale for the book as well as a personal and professional overview of the power dynamics between men and women in the business world, the reas ons for the lack of pa rity, and the struggle that many women face in work environments long - dominated by men. The chapters that follow ad- dress a wide array of themes and experiences (some professional, some personal, and some in- termingled). The author incl udes painful personal struggles and losses (among them the early death of her mother); anecdotes about relationships with friends and colleagues; descriptions of profes- sional transitions, struggles, and successes; and a plethora of advice that can come onl y from some- one who has been there and done that, has sur- vived and succeeded, and is willing to mentor and encourage others who are walking the same path or are considering doing so. In essence Ms. Lashchyk provides a road map, a how - to guide, cautionary n otes, common - sense rem inders of professional etiquette and ad- ditional advice on working with and co - existing with colleagues and supervisors. Each chapter ad- dresses a workplace or workforce theme; most fo- cus on attitude and beneficial attitudinal adjust- men ts that include bolste ring self - confidence, staving off self - doubt, cultivating a positive profes- sional image, being attentive to body language, honing negotiation skills, maintaining personal and professional integrity, and developing a proac- tive mindset and behavior and commu nication skills to match. The “Do’s are juxtaposed with sev- eral important “Don’ts” that include excessive al- cohol consumption, office romances, gossip, and other inappropriate behavior that can and does de- rail careers. At the end of the mix is a chapter t hat ad- dresses “the next generation” — the millennials — a positive commentary that recognizes the presence and power of young people whose ideas and opin- ions about and approach to work and the world are very different from the ideas and o pinions of those of pr evious generations. The chapter closes with a surprisingly logical conclusion about the young people whom many in our society dismiss as “Snowflakes.” In closing, the author extends an in- vitation to the young women of this group to co me in, “demand better, ” and thereby change the exist- ing world into a better world. – tsc Our Cover Artist Daria Hulak - Kulchytsky was born in Buchach, Ukraine, in 1939 and l eft Ukraine at age four, settling in the United States.
