Description
'A landmark manifesto' New York Times
The ground-breaking, international bestseller - with over two million copies sold - that launched a new movement to empower women everywhere.
Sheryl Sandberg's Lean In has ignited global conversations about gender roles and ambition.
Ask most women whether they have the right to equality at work and the answer will be a resounding yes. But ask the same woman if they'd feel confident asking for a raise, promotion, or equal pay, and reticence can creep in.
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 to show how women can empower themselves, unlock top leadership roles and achieve their full potential.

Reviews / Votes
A landmark manifesto * New York Times * Lively, entertaining, urgent, and yes, even courageous ... Lean In is both a radical read and incredibly accessible ... While it's obvious that women have much to gain from reading Sandberg's book, so do men - perhaps even more so * Guardian * A brave book to write ... direct, funny and critical * The Economist * The business manual of the year * The Times * Any woman should welcome Lean In as a guide to cracking the glass ceiling * Independent * We need far more people like her * Telegraph * The Betty Friedan of her generation * Wall Street Journal * A feminist's manual of grace, grit and humour * Irish Sunday Independent * Sandberg is the sort of figure that any woman - and any man - should find admirable ... An inspiring read. * Guardian * If you loved Sheryl Sandberg's incredible TEDTalk on why we have too few women leaders, or simply believe as I do that we need equality in the boardroom, then this book is for you. As Facebook's COO, Sheryl Sandberg has first-hand experience of why having more women in leadership roles is good for business as well as society. Lean In is essential reading for anyone interested in righting the injustice of this inequality * Sir Richard Branson, Chairman, the Virgin Group *More details
