lindseythelibrarian 's review for:
Lean in: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead
by Sheryl Sandberg
informative
inspiring
fast-paced
An issue:
This book is definitely short-sighted in some of the ways it tackles workplace issues. It is written from a white and I would say upper-middle-class perspective. While she acknowledges her privilege, it did not really tackle those aspects.
The pros:
However, I would say that certain parts of this book DID speak to me--especially the first few chapters where imposter syndrome and achievement were tackled. I also appreciated how well-researched this book was as I always felt like there were facts to back up Sandberg's personal experiences as well as support her claims.
Recommended for:
Professionals in corporate workplace culture. I currently work in a library and felt like aspects of this book certainly helped me to be aware of my bias in regards to myself and others.
