Synopsis

The authors of the NANNY DIARIES chronicle the tribulations of a 24-year-old feminist named Girl, who attempts to maintain her idealism within the essentially grim and corrupt daily working world. She's fired from her first job by her nasty, treacherous boss. Girl then manages to land a cool-sounding, well-paying job at a dot-com. Unfortunately, her work responsibilities, never that well-defined to begin with, eventually lead in a direction she doesn't want to go. Is it worth compromising her principles in order to pay the bills?

this is by the women who wrote the nanny diaries. the main character, 'girl,' tries to live off of being a feminist working for non profits and has her scruples bent. cute, light reading.
