1. David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants by Malcolm Gladwell

As women in the workplace, society tends to assign us the role of underdog. However, with the help of Gladwell, we can look at our situations from a new perspective and find the strength to take on our own giants.
