Woman featured in Ivanka Trump's new book reacts: 'Don't use my story'
Danielle Paquette, The Washington Post Published 12:36 pm, Wednesday, May 3, 2017
Ivanka Trump released a self-help guide this week for working women, and it ignited mixed reactions from some of the role models featured in the book.
The eldest first daughter, who serves as assistant to the president, cited 208 names in "Women Who Work" by CNN reporter Betsy Klein's count - including Oprah Winfrey, Gandhi and Nietzsche.
"The book equips readers with the best advice, tips and skills I've learned over the years from many incredible people," Trump wrote on her Facebook page. " . . . on building cultures where multidimensional women can thrive - now and in the future."
One of those people, however, slammed Trump for including her in the book at all.
"@ivankatrump don't use my story in #WomenWhoWork unless you are going to stop being #complicit," Reshma Saujani, the founder and chief executive of Girls Who Code, tweeted after the book hit shelves Tuesday.
