This is a book I'd recommend to any man who manages or works with women, or who would like men to have an equal chance to stay home and care for the children. It's also a book I'd recommend to any woman, whether she's a working professional or a stay at home mother, or trying to mix the two. It's not a book that attempts to lay the blame on anyone, but it tries to objectively discuss why we are in a society where women are not achieving equal numbers in management AND why men are not achieving equal numbers caring for children. There's a lot of careful reference to research on unconscious bias, and how it affects (often negatively) both men and women. Watch Sandberg's 2010 TED talk and you'll get an idea of the general tone of the book, and this book was prompted by all the responses she got from that and similar talks. The book goes into a lot more depth and examines a much wider range of research in related areas. I listened to this as an audio book and found it a fascinating examination of a very difficult subject area: gender inequality and how both men and women suffer from it in different ways, how both men and women perpetrate it often without even realizing, and some ideas on how we can try to change that so both benefit. Does it have all the answers? No, of course not. But it's a good overview of a lot of the studies on the topic and I would really like to see it widely read by anyone (male or female) in a management position, or conflicted about whether to pursue a career or childrearing role.
