A popular Financial Times columnist's witty and inspirational guide for women in the workplace.

Mrs. Moneypenny has been a popular columnist for the Financial Times for twelve years. She runs her own business while juggling three children and a golfobsessed husband. She understands the plight of the modern woman all too well and preaches that while you can't have it all, you are expected to do it all.

In this lively yet practical guide, Mrs. Moneypenny offers advice that will equip women with tools for their climb to the top. In addition to drawing on her own experiences, she interviewed many top female executives for their best tips and anecdotes.

This book will be a must-read for longtime fans of Mrs. Moneypenny as well as career women who are just discovering her.



"I read Mrs. Moneypenny's Sharpen Your Heels expecting a book-length serving of the wit and honesty readers know and love from her Financial Times column. And I wasn't disappointed. This wisdom- filled guide obliterates the myth that women can 'have it all,' and in the process does the invaluable service of redefining success and happiness for everyone." — —Arianna Huffington, president and editor in chief of the Huffington Post Media


"Sharpen Your Heels is an easy and critical read. If you want to reach the top there's no better way than following the example and lessons of those who have gotten there before you. Take Mrs. Moneypenny's advice straight to the top!" — —Barbara Corcoran, star of ABC's Shark Tank, founder of the Corcoran Group


"Mrs. Moneypenny's advice is tough but spot on. Aim for the top. Jettison guilt. Outsource like a madwoman. Success requires sharp heels-and a sharp mind- but if you're willing to work hard, it is absolutely there for the taking." — —Laura Vanderkam, author of All the Money in the World and 168 Hours


"Sharpen Your Heels is filled with up-to-date strategies and practical tips to propel your career to the next level-regardless of your age or current position." — —Jill Konrath, author of SNAP Selling
