[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Huh, I (a man) thought it was "okay", but it was highly recommended by 3 professional moms that I know well -- (1) my wife, (2) a law school classmate who works in biglaw, and (3) a former coworker of mine who is a biglaw partner.  All three a very type A personalities who have achieved a lot and moms of children between 2-8 years old.[/quote]

Work hard and out source its not rocket science

I agree with other posters there needs to be a way to achieve career success based on quality of work not time put-in.  The whole fact that you basically have to make work your life if you want to get ahead is bs.  [/quote]

I'm a male too[/quote]

Yeah, I didn't think it was all that revolutionary, either, which was why I said it was just "okay."  But, I was just pushing back on the notion that professional moms don't love the book.  In my experience, that's not true.  No idea about the wider trend, but my anecdotal experience is that the type A professional moms I know did like the book.[/quote]

I am a professional mom in my forties, I don’t know a single women my age who liked it,  I do know some young women on their early twenties who like it—takes a decade or so of work to realize hard work and taking a seat at the table don’t actually do much in the face of gender  discrimination.  Only gets worse once kids are in the picture.[/quote]

The moms that I referenced who liked the book are in their mid to late 30s.[/quote]
