Editorial Reviews
Review
Elaine Tassy”s account of her all-too-brief journalism career is written with startling candor and grace. It is a cautionary tale and a worthy addition to the body of literature dissecting the roles that race and gender can play in the workplace. — Charisse Jones, co-author of Shifting: The Double Lives of Black Women in America
