I wrote THE ARMSTRONG SOLUTION and am proud of the fact that, thanks to me and my spouse's intimate look at the inner workings of the corporation, I managed to portray a fairly realistic view of what women routinely go through there. If it frustrated you, then it was successful. Women are not yet where they need to be and it is with that spirit that you didn't like how they were portrayed. Unfortunately, the way they are portrayed in the book is realistic even though it does not necessarily mirror the aspirations that women have for themselves. The fact that Kathy Armstrong ends the book as she does is an interesting metaphor for women like yourself to ponder for a long time. She takes the control and wins . . . even though it is shocking. I would say it was a realistic though challenging depiction of women. I think I was successful at telling how, with the right attitude—tears aside, though there is nothing wrong with them—women can and should indeed prevail. Thanks for your review. It is like other generally good feedback I am getting on the book. I must admit that your qualified comments vis-a-vis charcter development are the opposite that I normally receive. Hi.
