Depending on her experience, it may have needed courage and some internal struggle. At least no more than the courage an average person needs to decide their career and future in life. Do you personally have such situations in *your* life that need courage? It's easy to shit on a rich person, saying their life doesn't matter because they are rich, or their "courage" isn't real. But is *yours* any better? Is it really that healthy to demonize the life of another person, just because of what they were born into? Ivanka isn't any more guilty of being born a billionaire than a poor woman is guilty of being born poor. And yet the life of both matter, and the "courage" of both matter.
Matias Flores it doesnt neccesarily take courage to join a business you were steeped in since birth that is successful to boot in many ways. if she struck out on her own thats a lot more courage and risk obviously. but you're asking us to basically pat her on her back through no real work of her own.
Women who Work (but don't really need to) is who this book is for and what it should be called. She has a nanny and a woman who works because she has to feed her children, relies on a grandma if she's lucky or never sees her partner cause they're working different shifts or places her child in a daycare with a 5:1 ratio.
betsy devos works too... to deprive poor people... ivanka works too.. to exploit young naive girls.. u know i could't care less if she made millions overseas... just don't break the whole democratic institution f%#king princest bitch...
Great idea, Mel! Shoplifting Depends will become popular after these billion dollar "Tax breaks" kick in! At least the Trumps will be able to pay full price for their Depends!
Buying cheap bread and peanut butter and jelly at the gas station to support your husband in school and myself to get from day to day with a full time job while being in school as well is women that work. Not skimping on massages.
Exactly! Knowing that you might not be able to pay for housing and for your kid's food when you "jump" to start your own business is a "leap". Going to work for Daddy in a billion $ family firm with a guaranteed fluff job and a soft landing no matter what isn't a "leap", it's a gift from Heaven.
JordanGonzalez seriously though nothing she has been through is a hardship to 90 percent of the people and families out there. I've had tough times in my life.....but to act like being born a millionaire and having easy access to opportunity is a hardship is beyond me. now if its something emotional and what not we can all understand and sympathize. but she is obviously talking opportunity in a lot pf these cases where... im sorry is just tone deaf given her and her families circumstances
That is a poor choice for cheap and nutritious food. Take a little time to look into prices and nutrition of foods and you will soon find out that PB&J sandwiches is far from the optimal choice. It is not hard or take very much time to look it up.
@Fruitcake: And who says he doesn't appreciate it? Meanwhile, Ivanka is telling us how difficult it was to make the "jump" to join a miulti-billion $ family business where she was assured a position with guaranteed success even though it was well beyond her experience.
The book sounds so outlandish that I want to read it to scoff at just how out there she is. But I'd sit in a Barnes and noble to read it cuz I don't wanna buy it and support her.
Pallas AnitaSarkeesian sure it's your legal right to use a racial slur if you chose. The word will always be remembered but replace it for any other racial slur and think about how it makes you sound. If that's who you want to be, that's your right, but just know that it's harmful and hurtful to the people you are referring to. Some people don't know how it makes Inuit people feel.
I think we need to examine what her definition of "work" is cuz I seriously doubt she's flippin burgers, cleanin toilets or standing on an assembly line all day! Work for her is wearing expensive clothes, "taking meetings" and 2 martini lunches! LOL
This is a power tactic. It's to make others silent because they have to struggle to hear you... so the person has to really focus and give their all out attention to hear what she is saying... I usually say to people who do this to speak louder because I have a hearing problem and I say I can't hear one word, sorry and I start talking... lol
wow that never occurred to me, that it's a power tactic. if she's doing it for real, she's one manipulative bitch. But then again, I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
She should cut herself off from her fortune get a normal job, live in a crappy little flat or whatever her job can get her, dont go to expensive parties or be a socialite... do this for a whole year.....then write a book...she might actually be able to empathize with humans that way....
HOW CAN HANNAH BE TALKING ABOUT THIS????????????? Hannah you are also extremely privileged. You went to Duke and you live in California. You were also born into a wealthy family.
The difference is, Hannah isn’t trying to act as though she has struggled in her life. She didn’t write a book calling a decision to join a multimillion dollar company in which she would have had a secure position a ‘leap’.
It's just like the time I decided to change careers to gain healthcare benefits and a chance for upward mobility. I took a huge pay cut at first so I had to work a second job 5 evenings a week and 6 hours on Saturdays to make the rent and food bills, requiring my eleven year old to mind the baby every night for an hour and a half and six hours on Saturdays while I worked in the same room with them both. This left me free every single Sunday to grocery shop and clean the house. All the best naps were had by my imaginary nanny. We were short every single month so I had a wonderful opportunity to improve my skills at bill juggling and thanks be the car didn't break down during that time and I retained my health. Just like you , Ivanka.
oh lookie daddy dearest daughter/wife is making a profit off her position in the white house! well like father like daughter! at least she is continuing the "family business" lmao
hey! there's nothing wrong with having a nanny! i, myself had a nanny. she was English, and though i liked her, i felt much pleasure refusing to learn English. I, never thought that I would have to learn the language-being that i never imagined speaking anything, but Spanish and the little bit of Turkish i was exposed to. Nanny Durham fed me prohibited sweets-as a way of bribing me into taking learning as a future necessity. that was FUN!
Hannah is really the last person to complain about others being privileged. she is quite frankly the most arrogant and condescending person they have at tyt. i would bet money she grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth being told by everyone how perfect and beautiful she is, and that makes a person unbearable. i know, have seen it many times before.
This makes me very angry. I was raised in poverty . . . On a typical day, we didn't have enough to eat, and sometimes nothing to eat. I left my nonfunctional family when I was 18 and never went back. Eventually, I became a paralegal. When I gave birth to my son, I was the happiest person alive, but had to go back to work after three weeks. I began working for an attorney at nighttime. I'd take by baby with me, and he would sleep on the couch. The hours were 8:00 pm to 2:00 am. I'd drive home, which took over an hour. My son would wake up at 5:30 am, and I needed to get up to take care of him -- In other words, I got very little sleep. My life is the total opposite of Ivanka's. Never did my parents help me with ANYTHING.Her book does show her privileges. I think she is basically an ignorant person, because she doesn't know about the world around her. She doesn't have a clue.
The thing about people who are born into money, is that they will never truly understand what it means to work for what you want. She didn't have to start at the bottom, she didn't have to worry about if she would get to eat lunch that day, she didn't have to work her way up from nothing. People born into millions will *never* understand, unless they leave it all behind, which she clearly didn't do.
It's an editorial segment, within the confines of what constitutes an editorial/op-ed is reviews of media. Which is basically classified as an editorial within A+E.
"Working mothers who have earned the title of MOM barely have time to shower, brush their teeth, and/or put on shoes before rushing out the door to drive her kids to school in the morning. Then she has more or less ten minutes to get dressed, eat something, and be on the road to get to work by nine o'clock. She doesn't have the luxury of being able to have Ivanka's distorted, unrealistic idea of "self care". For a woman who actually works to help put food in her kids bellies, the phrase, self care, is much less lavish than that prissy little girl." -Kimberly Carey, my mother and the strongest, bravest, most kick ass woman I will ever have the pleasure of knowing. I love you Mom.
Hannah really shines when talking about feminism. On subjects she's less comfortable with she isn't nearly as confident. I wouldn't mind watching a segment she hosts about feminist issues.
"One time, my nanny wanted a day off to celebrate the birth of her first born baby. I had to cancel my ski trip to Aspen that weekend. By the way, I fired her." -IT
I had an aristocratic friend once, she wouldn't know she was aristocratic, until she had once to be rushed into ER. She called her experience: "borderline inhuman". She looks like a farm girl next to Ivanka...
I'm as liberal as they come, but its obvious shes going to live a privileged life, not sure what you want her to say in her book. I didn't read the book, but it doesn't seem like shes saying that not getting to treat herself to a massage is as hard as being a single mother working 3 jobs to support her family.
I bet my mom wished she could wake up early to mediate and get massages. But.. she had to be up super early to make her kid's lunch, breakfast, get them ready for school, then get herself ready for a day at work, in which she'd come home from to make dinner for her kids and husband. It pisses me off that she thinks she's this wonderful, hands on mom. My mom did literally everything. Self care? She was too busy raising a family, and struggling to become financially stable. Because that's how the real world is. You work for your fortune. You aren't handed it. Which, no matter how much she thinks she wasn't, she was. And my mom didn't come from a poor family. Quite the opposite. But still, YOU work for what you have. YOU raise your kids. Not nannies..
She wrote the book like her daddy did. As soon as you mention nanny, your not a working mom. If you are the boss or free to set your hours you aren’t a working mom.. A working mom sits up with a sick child, runs out of the house with a peanut butter smear on her shoulder. Works 8 to 10 hours 5 days a week and commute on the bus making connections in the rain and snow. Does 1 load of laundry before work and 2 after work. The dyed hair, perfect makeup and manicure belong to a privileged person.
It doesn't matter if it's a nanny or a childcare provider at a center, the point is the same. Many middle class families have a nanny BTW. As far as massages, it's a billion dollar industry with the MIDDLE class. So while many don't partake, apparently many do. I feel the group discuss the book actually has no real idea what middle class, across all 50 states, live. You make the choices where your money goes whether it's better child care or gym memberships, or fancy drinks. Also, the low income, they are probably the ones that won't read the book and won't relate to it. But this book fits the middle and upper class working women.
I think a year from now she will write a book about how much it was difficult for her to reach the white house and the experiences she had to have and how they got them and how she arrived with her merits without the help from any one, and will tell other "working women" how it is possible and must believe in themselves.
I just hate it when I can't find time between the grocery store runs, dry cleaning pick ups, dropping off kids for various sports activities and housework to get my "me time" and get a massage. Guess I should have had a nanny. how stupid of me not to think of it.
I just admire Ivanka so much!! Especially her incestuous relationship( which is just so beautiful!!) with her father, President Flacid Prick himself. I was overjoyed and overcome with joy when Ivanka got her office in the WH, I almost cried with happiness!! She proudly fills the Monica LEWINSKI position under the respected president's desk so many times a day, it's just beautiful and probably the reason he is such a great heroic president!! Thank you Ivanka for all you do for women in the U.S., in the world!!
So much pressure for a new college graduate; accept a personal invitation from the editor-in-chief at Vogue or step into an executive level position at daddy's conglomerate. All while knowing you've got a multi-million dollar cushion and could never possibly fail at anything. How did she cope? Poor girl.
Holy cow does Hannah prove herself more and more of an airhead every day. Even on a day where she has actual insightful commentary, she can't define the kind of feminist she identifies as.
When my daughter was born I learned that childcare would take 50 percent of my net pay and the lady put my kid in a swing all day and when I picked her up her eyes were glazed over. Even after law school, childcare took so much of my money, I had to call my mom to western union me money to get enough gas to drive home. Eack kid took 50,000 dollars of childcare by kindergarten. I almost lost my older child to go live with my mother at one point due to inability to pay for childcare as I owed a provider 3k. I had a full time job, ivy league BA and a law degree.
Her publisher should have just published the story of Ivanka's kids' nanny and call it the same name. More insightful content. A real story of Women Who Work.
some people are just fortunate including trump family. we never know whats inside their family relationship or being happy to be rich. a lot of people just don't understand enough what she's getting true. in my opinion everything she wrote in the book is so much honesty. and these people is very sensitive to express deep down from their heart that they have issues being rich.
It's like that scene in the Sex and the City movie where Charlotte starts to cry from the stress from her kids, with a nanny. I felt real bad for that fake character the same way I feel for Ivanka.
I think Hannah said it best at the end - Ivanka can write a book, but don't say you have the experience of the average working women - you don't and you never had. Just say you're privileged and this is my privileged experience. Don't pretend to be something you're not.
I would describe the leap into the "FAMILY BUSINESS" as trying to leap across the Grand Canyon. Ivanka, you were better off being yourself. Now your "Daddy's little girl" again.
thing is its all relative. there are pleanty of poorer people who have to use nannys or childminders so they can work , so can relate to not being there for key moments. There are pleanty of people who dont have the time to set aside just for themselves. yessss shes rich and so for working people looking to her she seems ignorant to the issues day to day people face, but things like this shows that there is that bit of humanity in her. these are the things that remind you she is still just a person
As far as self care goes like massage, I would like to comment as a Licensed Massage Therapist: I ride the poverty line at best (as far as social status goes) and for as many sessions as I have done for incredibly low rates, I would just hope that one day massage isn't looked at as a luxury. Unfortunately in this Western society it is in fact a luxury due to such high prices by nature of the profession. Although I can understand the hyperbole due to Ivanka's social status because she is indeed so privileged to have the ability to get one as often as she wants and however expensive she wants, I would still make the argument that self care is obviously a necessity, but a massage is not a luxury. Sidebar: I know my my sliding scale would jump through the roof if she got a massage from me. And I certainly won't turn anyone away.
Ivanka has never gone through a job interview nor had to fill out a resume.She is not in a position to understand what women have to deal with in the market place.She should stop putting herself in embarrassing situations ,such as advocating for her father.
I'm really confused... what exactly did they expect the book would be about? How she rolls in mud because she can't afford to keep her house clean? What?
Ivanka: Ladies, we all know what it's like when your personal shopper only gets 6 pounds of caviar when you specifically told him 7. But keep that chin up, there's always the daily sun-bathe on the yacht to shake off the stress brought on by the help.
I keep having this recurring dream about the family of Czar Nicholas II in the cellar, and how they were dispatched by the Bolsheviks...what does this dream mean???
To Hanna's last point -- but Ivanka doesn't have the humility to recognize that she has privileges, opportunities and luxuries that the vast amount of working moms do not have. She might as well be saying to a starving population, "let them eat cakes."
Ivanka is not every American, which is true of many who pretend to be. You may not like her, and her perceptions of her world in comparison to yours, but she doesn't hide who she is so at least your seeing truth, which is something I can respect.
The courage she must have had to join the family business! The struggle! See? She's just like all of us!
Depending on her experience, it may have needed courage and some internal struggle. At least no more than the courage an average person needs to decide their career and future in life.
Do you personally have such situations in *your* life that need courage? It's easy to shit on a rich person, saying their life doesn't matter because they are rich, or their "courage" isn't real. But is *yours* any better?
Is it really that healthy to demonize the life of another person, just because of what they were born into? Ivanka isn't any more guilty of being born a billionaire than a poor woman is guilty of being born poor. And yet the life of both matter, and the "courage" of both matter.
Matias Flores it doesnt neccesarily take courage to join a business you were steeped in since birth that is successful to boot in many ways.
if she struck out on her own thats a lot more courage and risk obviously. but you're asking us to basically pat her on her back through no real work of her own.
Matias Flores Actually, it just might have a hard decision considering what Trump's name will do to your image.
ironic? or sarcastic?
That was one powerful story man! almost brought a tear to the eye! the hardship she must have endured as she pulled herself up by her bootstraps.
Women who Work (but don't really need to) is who this book is for and what it should be called. She has a nanny and a woman who works because she has to feed her children, relies on a grandma if she's lucky or never sees her partner cause they're working different shifts or places her child in a daycare with a 5:1 ratio.
betsy devos works too... to deprive poor people... ivanka works too.. to exploit young naive girls.. u know i could't care less if she made millions overseas... just don't break the whole democratic institution f%#king princest bitch...
She didnt write no damn book lol
She wrote a book with her Dad's pale, white, small, naked with some green slime leaking on the shaft dick.
>:) Enjoy your nightmares tonight.
So descriptive, is this you, coming out? Or were you out already?
vidguy73 You seem interested sir lol

now if its something emotional and what not we can all understand and sympathize. but she is obviously talking opportunity in a lot pf these cases where... im sorry is just tone deaf given her and her families circumstances
That is a poor choice for cheap and nutritious food. Take a little time to look into prices and nutrition of foods and you will soon find out that PB&J sandwiches is far from the optimal choice. It is not hard or take very much time to look it up.
You should write your own story and launch your own Book.
";-)
*_"What hardships exactly has Ivanka Trump endured throughout her life?"_*
not having her nanny around to take pictures for her
she endured her fathers `hard ship`
More like a half-inflated dinghy
Michael McClelland she dealt with the hardship of having your father who inherited a hundred million dollars.
@Fruitcake: And who says he doesn't appreciate it? Meanwhile, Ivanka is telling us how difficult it was to make the "jump" to join a miulti-billion $ family business where she was assured a position with guaranteed success even though it was well beyond her experience.

6chars uhh, yeah what do you think? Did u really think she would write a book for the lower class?
Ivanka needs to stay out the White House.
so does her father.
Who would want to read a book such as this?
Bruce McDonald buy it as a gift for someone you dislike.
generationofswine I wouldn't want to line her pockets.
The book sounds so outlandish that I want to read it to scoff at just how out there she is. But I'd sit in a Barnes and noble to read it cuz I don't wanna buy it and support her.
+bruce
rich house wives
The Kim Kardashian crowd..
The Trump's "writing" books lol. That is like trying to sell ice to Eskimos.
They prefer to be called Inuit. It's considered a racial slur by indigenous Americans.
@Bianca: OK, but they'll always be Eskimos to us!
Pallas AnitaSarkeesian sure it's your legal right to use a racial slur if you chose. The word will always be remembered but replace it for any other racial slur and think about how it makes you sound.
If that's who you want to be, that's your right, but just know that it's harmful and hurtful to the people you are referring to.
Some people don't know how it makes Inuit people feel.
So you are no different from any other yank wallowing in racism and ignorance. How's that working out for you?
That analogy actually makes no goddamn sense what the hell are you saying?
Ivanka is too rich to spend time with her kids.
Dangerous Dingo The idle rich don't raise kids, nannies, usually illegal immigrants do that.
I'd be amazed if they even recognize her!
She just has kids to latch herself to the image she sees of herself. Her children may just be mere accessories.
Just like her father. He even admitted that he didn't like being around children until they are "older".
this book should NOT be called Women Who Work. It should be called Women Who Were Born Rich But Decided to Work Anyway
I think we need to examine what her definition of "work" is cuz I seriously doubt she's flippin burgers, cleanin toilets or standing on an assembly line all day! Work for her is wearing expensive clothes, "taking meetings" and 2 martini lunches! LOL
She prabably "works" 20 minutes a day, 3 days a week, when she's not on vacation three months of the year.
No hard working person could relate to her book
Yes Ivanka Trumps book is just perfect for RICH, Wealthy White Women who have a family and run or own BUSINESSES.
What annoys me the most is that she talks like she is whispering. So weirdddddd!!
ctk4949 creepy fake voice for sure
I love the way she talks its sexy af whats wrong with you people
This is a power tactic. It's to make others silent because they have to struggle to hear you... so the person has to really focus and give their all out attention to hear what she is saying...

wow that never occurred to me, that it's a power tactic. if she's doing it for real, she's one manipulative bitch. But then again, I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Well clearly this book isn't for women who work minimum wage jobs.
This crappy money maker waste of paper should be called "The Art Of The Steal"
Remember how they said Chelsea was propped up? (she was)
But for anyone to portray Ivanka as a 'working mother' is an insult to working mothers.
She should cut herself off from her fortune get a normal job, live in a crappy little flat or whatever her job can get her, dont go to expensive parties or be a socialite... do this for a whole year.....then write a book...she might actually be able to empathize with humans that way....
But did she wrote it herself or did someone else wrote it with there ideas
Sad, that nobody asks the obvious question...
She was working so hard that she had time to write a whole book?
HOW CAN HANNAH BE TALKING ABOUT THIS????????????? Hannah you are also extremely privileged. You went to Duke and you live in California. You were also born into a wealthy family.
She needs to talk about other peoples' privilege, so she doesn't have to think about her own as much.
The difference is, Hannah isn’t trying to act as though she has struggled in her life. She didn’t write a book calling a decision to join a multimillion dollar company in which she would have had a secure position a ‘leap’.
Goddamn... *No massage or time to meditate? THE HORROR.*
Yet, somehow, she managed to survive anyway. What a titan.
i actually kinda wanna read the book now. it seems like it would make me laugh on every page and who doesnt like to laugh?!
Ivanka:
Clueless meets the Apprentice.
i need cenk, john and ana back please!!
It's just like the time I decided to change careers to gain healthcare benefits and a chance for upward mobility. I took a huge pay cut at first so I had to work a second job 5 evenings a week and 6 hours on Saturdays to make the rent and food bills, requiring my eleven year old to mind the baby every night for an hour and a half and six hours on Saturdays while I worked in the same room with them both. This left me free every single Sunday to grocery shop and clean the house. All the best naps were had by my imaginary nanny.

I didn't read the book, but it doesn't seem like shes saying that not getting to treat herself to a massage is as hard as being a single mother working 3 jobs to support her family.
Being filthy rich has a few drawbacks. Emptiness creeps in. Be the change you wish to see. Creativity is contagious.
This guy in the blue shirt, I LOVE him. He exudes empathy.
I bet my mom wished she could wake up early to mediate and get massages. But.. she had to be up super early to make her kid's lunch, breakfast, get them ready for school, then get herself ready for a day at work, in which she'd come home from to make dinner for her kids and husband. It pisses me off that she thinks she's this wonderful, hands on mom. My mom did literally everything. Self care? She was too busy raising a family, and struggling to become financially stable. Because that's how the real world is. You work for your fortune. You aren't handed it. Which, no matter how much she thinks she wasn't, she was. And my mom didn't come from a poor family. Quite the opposite. But still, YOU work for what you have. YOU raise your kids. Not nannies..
She wrote the book like her daddy did. As soon as you mention nanny, your not a working mom.
If you are the boss or free to set your hours you aren’t a working mom..
A working mom sits up with a sick child, runs out of the house with a peanut butter smear on her shoulder. Works 8 to 10 hours 5 days a week and commute on the bus making connections in the rain and snow.
Does 1 load of laundry before work and 2 after work.
The dyed hair, perfect makeup and manicure belong to a privileged person.
It doesn't matter if it's a nanny or a childcare provider at a center, the point is the same. Many middle class families have a nanny BTW.
As far as massages, it's a billion dollar industry with the MIDDLE class. So while many don't partake, apparently many do.
I feel the group discuss the book actually has no real idea what middle class, across all 50 states, live.
You make the choices where your money goes whether it's better child care or gym memberships, or fancy drinks.
Also, the low income, they are probably the ones that won't read the book and won't relate to it. But this book fits the middle and upper class working women.
Intersectional feminism is called "womanism" as well 101
Bret asks why "we" like Ivanka?
The answer is DIsney Princesses.
I think a year from now she will write a book about how much it was difficult for her to reach the white house and the experiences she had to have and how they got them and how she arrived with her merits without the help from any one, and will tell other "working women" how it is possible and must believe in themselves.
Brett's disgust at 2:20 is amazing
''And there was a period in my life in which everything seems to go wrong financially so I asked my father for a small loan''.
I just hate it when I can't find time between the grocery store runs, dry cleaning pick ups, dropping off kids for various sports activities and housework to get my "me time" and get a massage. Guess I should have had a nanny. how stupid of me not to think of it.
Lol that one woman on the panel... never thought I'd live to see one white woman talk shit about another white woman.
I just admire Ivanka so much!! Especially her incestuous relationship( which is just so beautiful!!) with her father, President Flacid Prick himself. I was overjoyed and overcome with joy when Ivanka got her office in the WH, I almost cried with happiness!! She proudly fills the Monica LEWINSKI position under the respected president's desk so many times a day, it's just beautiful and probably the reason he is such a great heroic president!! Thank you Ivanka for all you do for women in the U.S., in the world!!
So much pressure for a new college graduate; accept a personal invitation from the editor-in-chief at Vogue or step into an executive level position at daddy's conglomerate. All while knowing you've got a multi-million dollar cushion and could never possibly fail at anything. How did she cope? Poor girl.
Holy cow does Hannah prove herself more and more of an airhead every day. Even on a day where she has actual insightful commentary, she can't define the kind of feminist she identifies as.
Free will is impossible; no one deserves credit or blame for anything.
When my daughter was born I learned that childcare would take 50 percent of my net pay and the lady put my kid in a swing all day and when I picked her up her eyes were glazed over. Even after law school, childcare took so much of my money, I had to call my mom to western union me money to get enough gas to drive home. Eack kid took 50,000 dollars of childcare by kindergarten. I almost lost my older child to go live with my mother at one point due to inability to pay for childcare as I owed a provider 3k. I had a full time job, ivy league BA and a law degree.
This book should've been called "First World Problems 101"
Her publisher should have just published the story of Ivanka's kids' nanny and call it the same name. More insightful content. A real story of Women Who Work.
It's great to see someone talking about intersectional feminism without portraying it as a bunch of screaming harpies.
Must, ve been such a tough, tough, life living off daddy, s money, huh Ivanka?
There are a lot of single or low-wage moms who have to GIVE *massages* to make a little extra money
some people are just fortunate including trump family. we never know whats inside their family relationship or being happy to be rich. a lot of people just don't understand enough what she's getting true. in my opinion everything she wrote in the book is so much honesty. and these people is very sensitive to express deep down from their heart that they have issues being rich.
I think that she should be investigating too. Why is she acting as a president??
You missed the part where despite Ivanka struggling to have time to care for her children between work, had time to write a book.
It's like that scene in the Sex and the City movie where Charlotte starts to cry from the stress from her kids, with a nanny. I felt real bad for that fake character the same way I feel for Ivanka.
I think Hannah said it best at the end - Ivanka can write a book, but don't say you have the experience of the average working women - you don't and you never had. Just say you're privileged and this is my privileged experience. Don't pretend to be something you're not.
I would describe the leap into the "FAMILY BUSINESS" as trying to leap across the Grand Canyon. Ivanka, you were better off being yourself. Now your "Daddy's little girl" again.
The woman lives in a bubble. Totally out-of-touch with reality.
She struggled to get free from Daddy's little fingers.
stop privilege-shaming ivanka!
THERE IS NO WAGE GAP. PERIOD.
thing is its all relative. there are pleanty of poorer people who have to use nannys or childminders so they can work , so can relate to not being there for key moments. There are pleanty of people who dont have the time to set aside just for themselves.
yessss shes rich and so for working people looking to her she seems ignorant to the issues day to day people face, but things like this shows that there is that bit of humanity in her. these are the things that remind you she is still just a person
As far as self care goes like massage, I would like to comment as a Licensed Massage Therapist: I ride the poverty line at best (as far as social status goes) and for as many sessions as I have done for incredibly low rates, I would just hope that one day massage isn't looked at as a luxury. Unfortunately in this Western society it is in fact a luxury due to such high prices by nature of the profession. Although I can understand the hyperbole due to Ivanka's social status because she is indeed so privileged to have the ability to get one as often as she wants and however expensive she wants, I would still make the argument that self care is obviously a necessity, but a massage is not a luxury.
Sidebar: I know my my sliding scale would jump through the roof if she got a massage from me. And I certainly won't turn anyone away.

Awee... she has to have a nanny. That's so horrible. I feel so bad her. She's such a role model.
Ivanka has never gone through a job interview nor had to fill out a resume.She is not in a position to understand what women have to deal with in the market place.She should stop putting herself in embarrassing situations ,such as advocating for her father.
Rich privilege is the only real privilege a human can have.
Yup, she just became the Paris Hilton of politics....
I'm really confused... what exactly did they expect the book would be about? How she rolls in mud because she can't afford to keep her house clean? What?
Ivanka makes the Kardashians look like Joe the Plumber.
Ivanka: Ladies, we all know what it's like when your personal shopper only gets 6 pounds of caviar when you specifically told him 7. But keep that chin up, there's always the daily sun-bathe on the yacht to shake off the stress brought on by the help.
I keep having this recurring dream about the family of Czar Nicholas II in the cellar, and how they were dispatched by the Bolsheviks...what does this dream mean???
To Hanna's last point -- but Ivanka doesn't have the humility to recognize that she has privileges, opportunities and luxuries that the vast amount of working moms do not have. She might as well be saying to a starving population, "let them eat cakes."
This is a segment I actually want to watch but struggling to get through it having Hannah present.
Ivanka is not every American, which is true of many who pretend to be. You may not like her, and her perceptions of her world in comparison to yours, but she doesn't hide who she is so at least your seeing truth, which is something I can respect.
guy in middle is out of touch with style what a greaseball
"B...but father, if they have no bread why don't they eat their cake?"
Those excerpts are so exciting. I'm breaking my neck to grab a copy.
