Our current book pick is Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead by Sheryl Sandberg - we'll be reading and discussing this book through May 15, 2014!

Who has picked up and/or started the book?

What do you think about this pick? Any initial thoughts or reactions to share?

I tried to read this book but quit by the third chapter. In general I am never satisfied by nonfiction books, so I can't give you an accurate account. I never made it to the hope/ideas/inspiration portion of the book. Anybody care to teach me something?

There is a lot of rah rah for women that I'm a little bored of but there are some EXCELLENT pointers in here! Some write it down and don't forget it pointers. I can't relate to millionaires so a lot of it is blah blah blah

I've been really nervous about starting "Lean In" because I'm not the biggest fan of "corporate feminism". This author has donated tons of money to anti-choice Republican politicians which is pretty confusing. Sandberg has also been criticized pretty strongly by prominent feminist academics like bell hooks for being pretty blind to issues that WoC face in the workforce.

I agree with Annie. I am not interested in reason this book. I feel like it might not have been the best selection for this group with the anti-woman controversy that surrounds Sandberg and her stance on reproductive rights. Anyone who gets a positive message from this book is great, if you have aspirations in the corporate world it might be for you but as a worker in the human service field it's not for me.
