Summary
Right in the book’s opening anecdote, Sandberg effectively describes her laborious experience of managing a job when she was pregnant with her first child. Sandberg takes heart in the fact that compared to other women worldwide who are far less privileged with respect to basic civil rights and education, American women are centuries ahead. In Lean In, Sheryl Sandberg – Facebook COO and one of Fortune magazine's Most Powerful Women in Business – draws on her own experience of working in some of the world's most successful businesses and looks at what women can do to help themselves, and make the minor changes in their lives that can effect a change on a more universal scale.
