I keep hearing feisty tips from women who have survived a “Mr.Wonderful.” So many wise words deserve a chapter of their own, so here they are, straight from the women who have shared their stories and experiences for this book. These tips came to me from women in a wide variety of careers, age levels, and occupations, who are friends of friends. They are random women you chat with in the grocery store line, and women who overhear you chatting as they pass by and stop and join in the conversation. And these women are all, it seems, accompanied by a “sidekick” who thinks just like they do.
