Reviews

"Kicking Ass in a Corset is a practical and insightful guide to finding one's resolve and agency under great constraint and in trying times. This book is a road map for women leaders who want to tap into their own reserve of power to lead consciously, skillfully, and fearlessly. As someone who believes in the power of cultivating our leadership skills in all areas of our lives, Kayne's work is a necessary and supportive addition to my bookshelf."--Angella M. Nazarian, author, Pioneers of the Possible: Celebrating Visionary Women of the World

"By combining her significant expertise in organizational leadership with insight-filled love for the novels of Jane Austen, Andrea Kayne delivers a fresh take on both. Kayne uses Austen's six heroines as models for today's women leaders, as she cleverly weaves together literary criticism, memoir, and leadership advice. Kicking Ass in a Corset--which also features provocative questions and helpful exercises designed to move you forward--is an engaging, readable book that is sure to inspire."--Devoney Looser, author, The Making of Jane Austen

"Jane Austen knew, so why do so many modern women fail to see their own power? Kicking Ass in a Corset is a fresh and brilliant playbook for internally referenced leadership inspired by Jane Austen's heroines. It doesn't matter whether you're an Austen fan or not. This is the best empowerment book for women today!"--Laura Berman, TV host, OWN Network

"What an utterly clever use of Jane Austen's brilliance to inspire women to realize the truth that no matter what chaos may be unfolding in their external world, true leadership, whether of the self or others, relies upon internal qualities of the human spirit. Pure gold."--Caroline Myss, author, Anatomy of the Spirit: The Seven Stages of Power and Healing
