I liked it. I really liked how the author owned feminism and that she is looks out for other women and the opportunities they may be missing out on.

In addition, men and women need to work together to create true equality both in the workplace and at home. And teach our children to have an equality-based mindset. What would you do if you weren't afraid? ...more

I went into this book expecting to hate it. ...but I didn't.

Yes, much of it doesn't apply to me, but, as a woman in the workforce, the underlying themes were good ones to address and keep in mind.

A little repetitive and gives the feel of having to listen to someone unload their "stuff"
Good lessons from the workplace.
