Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead

"Lively, entertaining, urgent, and yes, even courageous ...

Lean In is both a radical read and incredibly accessible."

-Michael Cohen, The Guardian (London)

Lean In is Sheryl Sandberg's generation-defining call to action and blueprint for individual growth. In it she not only encourages women finally to gain their places at the table but also demonstrates how they can achieve real positions of leadership. Combining personal anecdotes, hard data, and compelling research, she exposes the biases that can affect and hold back working women.

She describes specific steps women can take to combine professional achievement with personal fulfillment and shows how men can benefit by supporting women in the workplace and at home.

Lean In has changed the conversation from what women can't do to what they can.

"An influential book. It will open the eyes of women who grew up thinking that feminism was ancient history ... and it will encourage those women to persevere in their professional lives."

-Janet Maslin, The New York Times

"As Facebook's COO, Sheryl Sandberg has firsthand experience of why having more women in leadership roles is good for business as well as society. Lean In is essential reading." —Sir Richard Branson, chairman, the Virgin Group
