Sandy Camillo is a lifelong advocate for women and a dynamic voice on gender, relationships, and equity. She is the author of The Journey of an Invisible Woman and The Shocking Truth Behind What Men Really Think About Women, and her forthcoming book, What If? Real Choices in Unreal Moments, explores the complex decisions people face when doing the right thing comes at a personal cost. She has also written numerous articles examining the realities of relationships, ageism, and women's equity, and her widely read blog brings these issues into sharp focus.

Sandy has held national leadership roles with the American Association of University Women (AAUW), serving as a Director, Secretary, and Governance Officer on its National Board. She has traveled across the country speaking with AAUW stakeholders on issues impacting women and currently serves as President-Elect of the AAUW New York State Board of Directors.

Her professional background spans education, law, and governance. Sandy has served as a school principal, paralegal, receivership specialist, realtor, court-appointed special advocate, and legal compliance and governance expert. She also served on the New York Executive Leadership Council of Autism Speaks.

She holds both a bachelor's and master's degree in education, along with postgraduate certification in administration. Sandy lives in New York with her husband, four children, a dog, and a cat. When she's not writing or advocating, you'll find her at the beach, her favorite place to reflect, recharge, and dream.

Ever wonder what he's really thinking?

If you've ever suspected the answers he gives you are the ones he thinks you want to hear, you're not imagining it. Most men won't say what they really believe out loud. Not to their wives, their daughters, or their friends. If you've ever wondered what your husband, boyfriend, brother, or father actually thinks about you, and felt the answers don't quite add up, this book is why.

Sandy Camillo spent a year collecting anonymous answers from real men, then wove them together with research spanning ancient civilizations to modern society. What they said will change how you talk to him tomorrow.

You'll eavesdrop on three fictional characters, Jim, Noah, and Buddy, who meet monthly at their neighborhood bar to share intimate stories about the women in their lives. Their conversations draw on real, anonymous survey data, letting you hear what men say when they think no woman is listening.

The Shocking Truth answers the questions women have always asked and never quite believed the public answers to: Is intelligence attractive? What does romance actually mean to him? Can men and women ever be just friends?

Not a book about bashing men; it's couples therapy in book form, minus the awkward silences and eye-rolling.

When she was a young girl, Sandy Camillo's mother told her a secret. That secret was that one day she and all of her friends would become "invisible" women. Her mother's words horrified Sandy, and she vowed to defy the mandate of this secret.

The Journey of an "Invisible" Woman recounts stories of how Sandy and women of many generations struggled to overcome stereotyping and societal barriers erected to keep them in their "place", to keep them invisible and silenced. She invites readers to accompany her on this journey of confronting biased gender norms, becoming visible, and finding a voice.
