It should not be that way, according to Sandberg.So much to read, so little time? This brief audio overview of Lean In tells you what you need to know - before or after you read Sheryl Sandberg's book. At present, it seems that working women are expected to ultimately choose between a fulfilling career or raising a family. Women must also have more options and be prepared to take risks. One of these changes is that women must be less afraid and believe more in themselves, shedding the negative conception of a strong-willed and ambitious woman.

For this to happen, there need to be certain changes. Sandberg believes that the key to a future of gender equality lies in more women rising to more positions of high responsibility and power in government and all sectors of industry. She reflects on the evolution of women’s rights in the past decades and how advancement towards equality is still halted by gender stereotypes and sociocultural prejudices. To illustrate this she tells anecdotes that have taught her important lessons, starting with the story of her willful grandmother and mother, who set examples for both her and her brother. Sandberg, in a first-person perspective, relates her personal path from her days as a young student to her current status as a woman in a position of power.
