""Citizen Girl" takes shots at every single instance of one woman's
confrontation with male society during the course of a few months.
It does this while being wickedly funny and well written but not
dogmatic or finger wagging.""--The New Republic"
"ÝA¨ sharp, funny satire.... The authors use a light touch that
still hightlights key issues for women in today's workplace (do you
have to look hot to get ahead?)""--US weekly"
"From the authors of "The Nanny Diaries" comes the hilarious story
of a recent college grad looking for the perfect job. Emma
McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus strike paydirt with their
girl-meets-big-city formula."-- marie claire"
"McLaughlin and Kraus deftly satirize postfeminist, postmodern,
twenty-first-century America, using management jargon and hipster
slang with equal precision. More remarkable is the subtlety with
which Girl's story moves from the dreary-yet-familiar world of
demanding bosses and unrewarding work into the realm of nightmares.
The authors have conjured up a vision of America that's just this
side of dystopian, and their funhouse-mirror worldview generates
its own strange suspense.""--Booklist"
"Young professional readers will relate to the degrading challenge
of scraping for entry-level work in a lousy economy and the tyranny
of clueless, selfish bosses. And McLaughlin and Kraus should be
lauded for creating an old-school feminist heroine who knows where
to draw the line.""--The Washington Post"
