Rationalizations for Women Who Do Too Much: While Running with the Wolves McCune, Allison and Spears, Tomye

A sharp, satirical antidote to the earnest self-help industrial complex of the '90s. McCune and Spears skewer the entire genre of women's empowerment books — from *Women Who Love Too Much* to *Women Who Run With the Wolves* — with biting humor and absurd "rationalizations" that justify overcommitment, perfectionism, and martyr complexes. Think: "I'm not controlling, I'm detail-oriented" and "Burnout is just my body's way of telling me I'm alive." It's the book equivalent of laughing so you don't scream. Perfect for anyone who's ever color-coded their to-do list at 2am or apologized for apologizing. A cult classic that still hits hard because very little has changed.
