Lean In by Sheryl Sandberg

Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead by Sheryl Sandberg
Sandberg encourages a global perspective on seeking gender equality. Only when 50% of leaders around the world are women, will there really be equality. Though we have come a long way since the sexual revolution, especially in the United States, we all, men and women, should still be dissatisfied with the imbalance that remains. Furthermore, we should use this dissatisfaction to instigate change.

Sandberg explains some of the cultural expectations that inhibit and prohibit women from advancement in their chosen professions and callings, including the imposed female desire to be liked. She cites studies to prove the existence of these biases and to support the beneficial results of circumventing them.
