What Women Want: The Global Marketplace Turns Female Friendly by Paco Underhill explores ways that retailers are catering to women’s economic influence. Underhill has made presentations at various library conferences and has worked with libraries on library layout.

PW says: “Underhill’s conception of the female consumer is outmoded at times (larger bathrooms in houses are supposed to serve as the ‘penultimate inner sanctum [for] todays frazzled female’), but he makes a compelling argument that a failure to cater to women consumers with products, services, environments, and customer experiences that meet their expectations is just ‘bad business.’ ”
