In between her volunteering as advisor to the president, being co-CEO of a multi-million dollar business and meeting world leaders, Ivanka Trump, daughter to the US president, has published a book.

Titled 'Women Who Work: Rewriting the Rules for Success', the book draws on Ivanka’s own experiences being a female real estate executive with a child, and includes an abundance of quotes from life coaches, as well as famous writers.
