Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi may have been sitting right behind the President last night. Hillary Clinton could be the next president. But the tip top of corporate power in America is still - overwhelmingly - a boys' club.
Nina DiSesa says woman can break in. She's done it herself. The trick, she says, is to unabashedly use women's strengths in a man's world.
Listen to an On Point discussion with DiSesa about what she means by that, and what she makes of women in American politics today.
What does it take today for a woman to rise and lead? Is Nina DiSesa backsliding, or getting real, when she advocates "seduction and manipulation"? Is that what men do?

It took getting married and having two daughters for me to realize that men and women are wired differently. Viva la difference!
Men have their way of doing things and women have theirs. I think it's fine for women to "play a role" with men, manipulating them to their advantage. It's when women ignore their femalehood and try to be better men than the men that we all run into trouble. Women can be great leaders by embracing their femininity and using that as a platform rather than going to the men's camp and trying to beat them by playing the game the same as the men. Wake up women, you have more to offer!
But maybe we aren't ready? who knows, no one has tried it.
Most of us have seen what women can do in the health insurance industry. (The same as many males)
Now take the Advertising profession…please.
