Backed up by anecdotes and statistics, Sheryl brings the difficulties women in the work place face in today's market. She gives advice on how to interact with coworkers with out falling into the categories of "selfish, bitchy, not a team players," ect., a common side effect of being a self reliant woman. She also gives great advice on why a woman should continue to work after having children and how to make it work.
My only complaint about the book is there was more focus on dealing with males than with females. In my experience (and many other individuals), it's your fellow female coworkers that try to bring you down... They do not want to see you succeed and will be the first to gossip about you "staying late with the boss." Until this mindset changes, I don't think women will succeed.
What do you think? Have you read Sheryl Sanberg's book? Do you feel that women have the same opportunity as men? Do women help each other get ahead in the workplace, or do we bring each other down? What can you do to change?
