Act, Sister! is a definitive modern guide for women who choose to lead — in career, in ambition, and in financial independence — within a world that still rewards male patterns of success. Mila Semeshkina — bestselling author of Learn or Leave the Market and Your Million-Dollar Career, and founder of the global WE Convention — has distilled the lived experience of 1,000 self-made women into 340 pages of clear strategy and practical action.
This book is for women across all professions — and for you especially if you:
Know you are capable of more, but need clarity, structure, and direction
Want financial independence and the freedom of relying on yourself
Prefer practical instruments over abstract, «universal» advice
Seek self-realization without sacrificing family, partnership, or personal life
This book helps you bring order to your goals, thinking, and actions. It shows why so-called universal career advice often misses the mark for women — because it was created within male career logics and for male life scenarios — and replaces it with a more precise approach that amplifies your strengths. With Act, Sister!, you will design a career strategy that fits real life: your ambitions, responsibilities, constraints, and standards — and move toward what you want with clarity and control.
Built on the real experience of women leaders and WE Convention participants from 100+ countries
Offers applied tools: exercises, checklists, and a step-by-step career roadmap
Reflects the realities of the market and the specific challenges women face
Helps you design a long-term strategy — not a short-term burst of effort
Act, Sister! brings together historical perspective and modern career strategy — with no promises of effortless success, and no imitation of someone else’s path. It is a book for women who are ready to think with range: to combine feminine intuition with strategic discipline, to take responsibility for their outcomes, and to build a life where femininity and strength not only coexist, but reinforce one another.
A refined balance of insight and action: real depth, real application
Written by a successful woman — explicitly for women
Honest, direct, and free from clichés or moralizing
Designed as a mentor-style desk book: a guide you return to as you grow
Mila’s professional circle includes entrepreneurs, executives, experts, public figures, and global cultural personalities. Their experience became part of the foundation of Act, Sister! — shaped through extensive interviews and research.
«Act, Sister! is a reframing of women’s careers through the lens of a values-driven social and strategic planning. This book demanded far more time than the two I wrote before. I included a vast number of biographies, case studies, and women’s stories — many of them internationally recognized, featured in Forbes rankings, and influential on a global scale. I did it to identify our most persistent pain points, examine them closely, and develop practical solutions for women who are only beginning their journey toward their goals.»
