Lean in: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead by Sheryl Sandberg

hopeful informative slow-paced

3.0

I had to remind myself that this book came out like a decade ago, so it's natural to feel like this is nothing new.  I think if you aren't familiar with gender biases in the workplace this can be a great starting point.  Personally, some of the personal anecdotes felt self indulgent and dragged on a bit for me.  I'm sure for others these stories might have come across as helpful but I just didn't personally care for them.  But I also have a strong sense that this book in a lot of ways was preaching to the choir.  Most women know these things, having either personally felt or experienced them, but I guess in some ways reading it could be more validating.  Unfortunately, I don't think we've come as far as Sandberg would have hoped since this book came out.
