“Stand Tall. Raise Your Voice. Be Heard.”
Great, practical advice. Like stepping into a lively, honest conversation with a “claim your space pro,” reading Eliza VanCort’s new book is what working women want and need. "A Woman’s Guide to Claiming Space" is exactly what the title predicates, and readers will not be disappointed. The black and red lettering on the cover are proud commands: “Stand Tall. Raise Your Voice. Be Heard.” But they are essentially internal commands, coming from the woman reminding herself, giving herself permission to respond powerfully within a patriarchy that has yet to relinquish its grip on power.
VanCort’s book is a fast, easy, fun (there are cartoons and graphics!), and highly insightful read. When you are a working woman, you are likely juggling many responsibilities and demands on your time. This book is not one of the demands. Rather, it is an ally for women and people of color. In fact, "Claiming Space" offers many helpful suggestions for ways in which women can “forge connections” and “claim space collaboratively.” VanCort is not suggesting a you go in as a “one-woman army,” but, rather, she instructs how to “create a [work] space that is welcoming for all. A space where we can raise each other up.”
It is difficult not to recognize yourself in the scenarios VanCort relates in the process of demonstrating practical techniques for responding to inequalities—both sexist and racist—found in the workplace. If you didn’t know the terms and psychology behind the power dynamics before, VanCort helps you identify them, and you will be far better equipped to respond to the microaggressions you face.
You can’t be a woman who works and not find VanCort’s guide helpful, even exactly what is needed. I will be passing my copy of "Claiming Space" along to other women who will likely share with their colleagues.

Eliza VanCort
I’m an acclaimed speaker, bestselling author, empowering mentor, rule breaker, rule maker, and unapologetic space claimer.
I’m a consultant in demand for keynotes and workshops on communications, career and workplace issues, and women’s empowerment. My background is in political science and the arts.
My signature keynote retreats, courses, workshops, speeches, and coaching give audiences and participants concrete tools to better communicate, influence, collaborate, and lead.
I’m the founder of The Actor's Workshop of Ithaca, a Cook House Fellow at Cornell University, an advisory board member of the Performing Arts for Social Change, and a member of Govern For America's League of Innovators.
I believe the feminist movement has done great things, but also has not done right by our sisters of color. My passion is to unite women across disciplines and differences for a better world.
United, we are unstoppable.

Best Book Ever Written!!!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I’m only mad that I didn’t read it sooner! You NEED this book in your life! I don’t usually re-read books, but this will be one that I do re-read from time to time because I never want to forget the things I learned. I feel like I’m now equipped with a whole new set of skills. It’s a total game-changer. Previously, I felt that I had a lot to offer, but still felt that I was missing something. I found it when I found Eliza and her amazing book! I also bought the audiobook and it is just as great! I just had to have a physical copy as well though because I want to be able to reference things in it from time to time. Happy Reading!
