But she has labeled a solution for problems that are rampant among a generation raised to believe that we were on level footing - and a pragmatic approach to change it. Sandberg may never be feminist enough, grassroots enough, inclusive enough, mom enough for everyone.
Bennett, who was raised in the "Girl Power era of the eighties," says Lean In finally gives women of her age group the "words to say what we'd long felt but couldn't quite articulate."
Jessica Bennett from New York not only attended such a meeting, but also organized a spur-of-the-moment group of her own, where young women discussed things like how to tackle their insecurities. Sandberg has prepared instructional videos, pamphlets, hashtags, a marketing campaign, and a website meant to encourage women to start their own "lean in" support groups. There is more to Lean In than just the book. Sandberg finally puts words to young women's long-unarticulated feelings If you want to get in on the conversation but don't want to wade through the more absurd or knee-jerk reactions, here are five thoughtful, smart, and unique responses - both critical and supportive - to Sandberg's Lean In. In some quarters, the book has been hailed as " the next great feminist manifesto." In others, Lean In has been disparaged as " victim-blaming," or " the elite leading the slightly-less-elite, for the sake of Sandberg's bottom line." Sandberg's advice is for younger generations to overcome these obstacles by "leaning in" to their careers. In other words, the world is still run by men. Whether it's planning ahead for a family, feeling obligated to think of others before themselves, or shying away from their triumphs, women's degenerative choices over time have resulted in the gender as a whole earning only 77 cents for every dollar men make, and holding only "a meager twenty-one" of the Fortune 500 CEO positions. Sandberg posits that due to forces both internal and external, women make small decisions throughout their career that impede their progress. In Lean In, Sandberg presents personal stories and anecdotes from high-ranking friends and former colleagues, contrasting them with a slew of data and research about American women and the workplace. And with the publication of her new book, Lean In: Women, Work, And The Will To Lead, she has, fairly or not, acquired many more. Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg has her critics.
