Description
Women in our society are not less intelligent and smart than a man. Studies have shown that they get higher grades in schools or colleges than male students. There are some situations when a woman finds it hard to balance her growing career and family demands. Due to these situations, they tend to leave their highly successful career and choose to stay home to take care of their beloved family.
Sheryl Sandberg pens down her pragmatic experiences for helping those women who are struggling in finding the solution for bringing balance in their lives. Her experiences are well measured, practical, and based on academic researches. Her narratives allow us to peek into her highly successful professional and personal life.
Apart from the issue of finding priorities, she brings out some other sensitive subjects like race, color, and gender discrimination. Since our society is male dominating society women find it very hard to reach up to the highest level of the designation in any field. The ratio of men in leadership is very high between both genders. She also talks about other high-profile women like Merissa Mayor the CEO of Yahoo and Peggy McIntosh, an American Activist and feminist. Sandberg's thoughts are flawless which binds you with the book till the end. Lean In was her first book to be published.
