Thirty years after women became 50 percent of the college graduates in the United States, men still hold the vast majority* of leadership positions in government and industry. This means that women’s voices are still not heard equally* in the decisions that most affect our lives.

    In this book, Sheryl Sandberg looks at why women’s progress in achieving leadership roles has stalled*, explains the basic causes, and gives commonsense* solutions that can help women realize their full potential*.

    Sandberg is the chief operating officer of Facebook and is ranked on Fortune’s list of the 50 Most Powerful Women in Business and as one of Time’s 100 Most Influential* People in the World.

    In 2010, she gave a TED* talk in which she described how women hold themselves back in their careers*. Her talk, which became a phenomenon* and has been viewed more than 2 million times, encouraged women to “sit at the table,” look for challenges, take risks, and pursue* their goals bravely.

    In the book, Sandberg digs deeper into these issues, combining* personal stories, hard data, and advanced research to clear things up about the lives and choices of working women. She tells her own decisions, mistakes, and daily struggles to make the right choices for herself, her career, and her family.

    Written with both humor and wisdom, Sandberg’s book is a call to action and a blueprint* for individual growth. It tells us not what women can’t do, but what they can.(SD-Agencies)
