"I don’t remember ever having a gut-level emotional response from reading a book introduction. Not just an “okay, this sounds interesting.” I’m talking a squint-eyed, pursed lips, angry response. If you’re passionate about #MeToo and #TimesUp, get ready to have your blood boil a bit when you read Female Firebrands by Mikaela Kiner."

-Ms. Career Girl

''I can't imagine a better person than Mikaela Kiner to write a book that positively addresses the reality of what it means to be a woman in corporate America. Reading the brutally honest experiences of women who've 'been there,' coupled with realistic advice on how to improve not only your own experience at work, but also that of others, is extremely empowering.''

-Teresa Miller, General Counsel, Rick Steves' Europe

By bringing in a diverse set of female firebrand voices and interweaving it with in-depth research and her own wisdom and experience, Mikaela gives us a book that both illuminates our challenges in new ways and provides a pragmatic playbook not just for women, but also HR professionals and men advocates.''

A Practical, Actionable Guide to Advocating for Yourself and Others at Work

Women of all ages will nod in recognition at the stories of thirteen diverse, mission driven professional women as they share their career obstacles and how they’ve overcome bias, stereotypes, and being passed over for raises and promotions. If you’ve ever wondered what a true firebrand is, you’ll find out in Mikaela Kiner’s powerful first book.

Full of practical examples and easy to use checklists, Female Firebrands is an honest, modern guide for dealing with situations working women know all too well. Mikaela’s book addresses not only how to navigate #MeToo situations, but ways to address workplace challenges including privilege, pregnancy and parenting, and female rivalry – all without shaming or blaming.

Mid-career professional women will read this book and know they’re not alone—and women earlier in their careers can save years of heartache and frustration by learning what’s worked for women who came before them.

5% of the profits from the sale of Female Firebrands will be donated to BEST—Businesses Ending Slavery and Trafficking.
