Cokie Roberts: "For many years I felt like I was invisible to both men and women. People would talk to my husband and ignore me. One night, at a party, a man said, 'What do you do?' When I mentioned that I produced a TV show, I instantly became the center of attention. I find it horrendous that you only get respect when you do something 'important' or highly visible or have a fancy title."

Brett Butler: "It never occurred to me that I was an inferior gender until I was almost 40! I never sought 'respect.' I hoped it would be a top-tier by-product of what I did."

Linda Brakeall interviewed women of all ages, from a stay-at-home mom to a US Congressman's former Chief of Staff, all colors, shapes and sizes. Listen to their stories - in their words - and learn How To Get Men To Take You Seriously In Business And In Life!
