DESCRIPTION:
Saujani aims to ignite her fellow women - and enlist them in remaking America.. Woven throughout the book are lessons and stories from accomplished women like Susan Lyne, Randi Zuckerberg, Mika Brzezinski, and Anne-Marie Slaughter, who have faced roadblocks and overcome them by forging new paths, being unapologetically ambitious, and never taking no for an answer. Listeners are also offered a glimpse into Saujani's personal story, including her immigrant upbringing and the insights she gleaned from running a spirited campaign for US Congress in 2010. So why aren't we seeing more women rising to the top ranks of corporations and the government? Why don't our girls have more women in leadership roles to look up to? Women Who Don't Wait in Line is an urgent wake-up call from politico and activist Reshma Saujani. There's never been a better time to be a woman. We live in an era when girls are told they can do anything. Above all else, Women Who Don't Wait in Line is an inspiring call from a woman who is still deep in the trenches. The former New York City Deputy Public Advocate and founder of the national nonprofit Girls Who Code argues
Robi said Inspiring story for all women. This was a good book and easy read to help us find simple ways to make changes in our lives to achieve our aspirations. It also provided ideas on how to support other women and young girls to achieve their dreams or go into stem careers where they can earn more and make a difference in the world. I recommend all women should read Reshma's inspiring story!. Borrow it - don't buy it The books started off strong, but then it became really repetitive. I felt like the author spent too much time name-dropping, and too little time actually trying to inspire and empower women to make bold moves.. Many workable ideas, up-to-date resources I can't say enough about how much I liked this book! It drew me in because it was so sassy/funny but it slowly involved me in a serious advocacy discussion: for women entrepreneurs. Many great calls to action! For example Kiva.org(I knew, but could do moreCan't wait to try some others too. This morning I immediately called two younger mentees. I'd been waiting for the right time.
