Ivanka Trump’s new book, “Women Who Work”, attempts to be an empowering vehicle for female liberation. While she wrote it, she must have envisioned the book as being some sort of woman emancipation bible. The pages of the book are pink, a rather elementary reminder that the book is intended for women.

The book is stuffed with all these inspirational quotes from women. Although, there are no quotes from Hillary Clinton, arguably one of the most accomplished women in the world.

Reminder — Hillary Clinton could have been president. After all, she did get more votes than Ivanka Kerouac’s pop, but the election was stolen from her by the author of a book about the social place of women. That right there should be the definition of irony!

Essentially, Ivanka, whose father’s entire campaign was spent saying how “ugly” Hillary was or how she was “weak and ineffective” or how “she can’t satisfy her husband”, is trying to be a spokesperson for women!

Whoever’s idea “Women Who Work” was, should be commended. By including all of those quotes, the reader can see the strong female role models that have inspired Ivanka. Toni Morrison, Coco Chanel and Margaret Mead are all honored in Ivanka’s book on these beautiful pink pages.

She did announce that she wouldn’t publicize the book. However,

this tweet magically appeared on the State Department website. Talk about one helluva marketing tool! It was taken down as soon as a shower of complaints arrived.

Disgusting!!

But you can’t really blame her. After all, the book is about how Ivanka is able to juggle her family life with her cut-throat boardroom existence. She is woman. She is a success. Successful women do shit like advertising on their father’s website. She is also listed on Time Magazine 100 Most Important People. For a young lady, that is very admirable.

How successful is SHE, though?

Take away Papa Drumpf’s wealth, what would she have today?

Of course, such a hypothetical question could never be answered. But

Also remember, Ivanka’s Frankenstein like plastic surgery. Every inch of her body was sculpted by a surgeon’s knife. And still, she feels like an authority to tell little girls to be proud of who they are!

being true to who we are and what our lives look like proves that women who work are real.

Be “real” she writes. Unless you look like this,

Another admirable part of the book, is how Ivanka Trump manages to sound like an advocate for women but at the same time supports her dad. Remember, her father is planning on making abortions punishable.

“There has to be some form of punishment,” Trump told MSNBC, referring to women who would seek to defy the ban.

His supporters would say that Trump did not mean those words. Isn’t that worse though? To try to get votes by destroying a woman’s choice and freedom? There has never been a president so demeaning to women. Considering his daughter is his main adviser, she either tells him to demean women, or she is disastrously ineffective.

She wants the reader to understand how she just cares about every women in the world.

my ‘why’ is to provide you — a woman who works — with solutions and inspiration.

However, that is where her book is utterly pointless. The book promotes working women, who wear no shackles. But the apparent irony of the book glares at you like the blinding beam of a light-house. The book is written by someone who has everything given to her on a silver platter. Ironically, the only thing Ivanka Trump was given at birth, her looks, she had to alter.

She might be the WORST woman to write a book about women liberation. Despite her message, the book is still flooded with advertisements for daddy’s empire.
