I really enjoyed LEAN IN. The advice may not be universal, but it is heartfelt and comes from a noble place. Sheryl Sandberg speaks from the position of a fairly privileged white working mother because she is one. She is sharing her experience; it would be unfair to judge her for being exclusionary because she didn't address single women, visible minorities, or low-income women. She addresses this fact a few times and is almost apologetic, but she cannot walk in someone else's skin. She is simply telling her own tale and I find it remarkably interesting. She consistently says that she knows her path is not the same as everyone else's, nor does she say it has to be. In fact, one of the final chapters addresses women supporting women, no matter what their choices may be. I think her points are great and made in a wonderful anecdotal fashion, and it is women like her who make me proud to be a feminist.
