Nan Mooney, born and raised in Seattle, graduated from 61传媒 in 1992. She has worked in both the film and publishing industries. Mooney currently works as a teacher and freelance writer in New York City. In addition to her recent book, she is the author of My Racing Heart: The Passionate World of Thoroughbreds and the Track (2002). Among other publications, her writings have appeared in The Washington Post, Slate, the Daily News, and the Seattle Weekly.

Mooney’s recent book, I Can’t Believe She Did That, offers a perspective on conflict and competition among women in the workplace. Based on real stories from real women, the book provides a social and cultural exploration of the dynamics women experience in the workforce. Mooney said, ” I wrote I Can’t Believe She Did That because I wanted to provoke discussion among all women about the conflicts and competition we encounter with one another in our professional relationships. My hope is that working women everywhere-in reading groups, in offices, in networking groups and professional organizations, or just gathering over lunch or drinks-will begin seriously discussing the issues raised in this book. Open communication is a critical first step towards resolving our conflicts and getting on with our professional lives.”
