please.  [b]she does not need to acknowledge all of those who have come before her.  no one criticized Donald Trump for not acknowledging all the hard work that others have done to make his career possible [/b](namely his rich dad) in Art of the Deal. yet that was huge bestseller... [/quote]
What rock do you live under that you are unaware of all the criticism Trump has received for not acknowledging the leg up his rich father gave him to his success?  A similar thing was a major factor during Romney's campaign...and it probably would have been more of an issue for Trump if there weren't so many egregious things that no one knew which to concentrate on.

And yes, if you are trying to start a movement to empower women, acknowledging the contributions of other women is sort of a requirement. If you want to write a book selling platitudes about the secret to your success (a la Meg Whitman), no one cares.  That's the point.

But continue to hang accolades on a self-professed leader of women who has done little to improve the status of women at the company she works for while throwing rocks at the people who have risked their careers to help other women.  FYI, on Facebook's diversity:

I would think much more highly of her if she spent some time improving the stats and conditions for women at FB and then wrote a book about how other companies could do the same or how women could successfully advocate for their employers to do the same. Instead she wrote a book about how to succeed in the current system (which is a fine autobiographical/self-helpy thing to do) and decided to call it a movement.[/quote]
