"Why Women Betray Other Women At Work" by Nan MooneyThis was a very interesting read, and not specific to any one industry.  In fact this covers every job from the service industry to the corporate world.  There are a number of case studies explored throughout each chapter, with detailed analysis of each by the author.  Some might find it shocking that women will do these things to one another, others might just find it sad.  But certainly, the more we know about what motivates us to cut other women down rather than build them up will help us as a whole in the long run.  The author is fairly neutral in most of the cases, pointing out what's wrong on both ends of the story and giving some solutions for a middle ground that would lead to collaborative relationships between women on the job without sacrificing individuality or ambition.
