A GLANCE INTO SHERYL SANDBERG'S 'LEAN IN: WOMEN, WORK, AND THE WILL TO LEAD'

摘要

"I have written this book to encourage women to dream big, forge a path through the obstacles, and achieve their full potential-1 am hoping that each woman will set her own goals and reach for them with gusto." (Sandberg, 2013:171) Sheryl Sandberg's national bestselling novel may have sprouted from the need for pregnant parking while she was carrying her child, or it may have been a seed planted earlier that grew overtime as she consistently faced challenges throughout her life. Challenges that continued to arise simply because of her gender - being born a woman. The book gives an eye-opening read into the prejudices and discriminations that woman often face, external and internal, that come from trying to carve a niche in what used to be, but often still is, a man's world. Each chapter of the book gives a thorough look into a variety of issues that hold women back from reaching their heights. A summary of Sheryl's work can be highlighted by four main themes where inhibition for women occurs: in society, in the workplace, in motherhood and within our own selves.
