This month, we’re thrilled to spotlight Likable Badass: How Women Get the Success They Deserve by Alison Fragale, PhD—a national bestseller that’s quickly becoming a must-read for ambitious professionals. Packed with actionable strategies, real-world insights, and memorable stories, this book is designed for women, their allies, and anyone eager to accelerate their career growth with confidence and credibility. Fragale blends research-backed guidance with inspiration and wit, making it both deeply practical and genuinely enjoyable to read.

Fragale, a Chicago-based behavioral scientist, uncovers a powerful truth: many workplace challenges women face come down to “status”—how they are perceived by others. In Likable Badass, she explains how to strategically cultivate perceptions of both warmth and assertiveness, unlocking the reputation that leads to greater influence, more opportunities, and a well-deserved seat at the table. Her approach offers a fresh, empowering roadmap for shaping your professional narrative and propelling your career forward.
If you’re looking for a book that not only motivates but equips you to take meaningful action, this is a discussion you won’t want to miss.

The WiM IL Rosie Readers Book Club began during COVID as a way to connect around a common subject while many of our members were working from home. We provide attendees the opportunity to discuss their thoughts about the book with other Women in Manufacturing. It is a fun and casual atmosphere, and we encourage you to attend even if you haven't had the chance to read the book yet.

We hope to see you there!
