In feel, Token Woman is the story of women pioneering the business-social changes of the 70s, innovating in the world of technology without hope of credit, with one foot still in their mother´s world of children´s needs in a way that we are unwittingly allowing to fade or transmute into motherhood-by-remote as described in another recent book, The Futures of Women

It is written as an opportunity for techno-mentoring, discussing both the political games and the mathematics in context, but it also calls for changes in direction in the women´s movement, the TW Proposal.

Below are the comments of readers, published reviews, awards and interviews

Under Construction...

Like real life, our Token Woman is a complex creation and has many things to offer to its readers:

First and foremost, for those who relish storytelling, Token Woman is the memoir
of an adventure as an insider in top management councils.
Young mothers, struggling with motherhood-by-remote,
will recognize themselves as Token Woman validates their intuition. And our Last Straw Revolution, the collaborative online zine to support the TW proposal, brings them the latest results on where their best individual options likely will be.
ABC Parenting Award

For anyone interested in herstory,
the custom computer systems were barely a gleam in the Harvard Business Review in the 70s. The DSS conventions didn´t even begin til the 80s.
For young women making their career choices
and considering futures in the corporate world, Token Woman offers a chance to step into the shoes of a mentor of acknowledged stature and openness... while they have options & investment resources to commit.

"..instructive for all women who want to succeed in the corporate world, for those who would teach them, and for all interested in herstory."

Ohioana Quarterly

Or if corporate games pique your interest,

For our senior sisters in the corporate world,

Token Woman does for them what Walking Out On The Boys does for women in medicine.

For our sisters in technology

who enjoyed Close To The Machine because they savor the exciting mind games of things technical, Token Woman offers the beauty of operations research and decision support, but freed from the labor of its development, so the artistic or tech-averse can enjoy the sights as well... get the executive overview.

For the activist,

Token Woman challenges the standard advice and unquestioned institutions with a controversial proposal, the TW proposal, for dramatic change based on strategic insights into our strengths as well as into the nature and weaknesses of the juggernaut.

For women who shunned the job-route and went independent,

and for those attempting or considering their own micro-enterprises, Token Woman bolsters their resolve when they confront unsupportive voices.
