[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She has been on every TV news magazine and morning show this week. I hated her lean in stuff, although she admits she didn't really get how impractical and insulting that was for many women and especially single mothers (like me) until now that she is widowed. Still, there is something shrill and annoying about her. Not a fan.[/quote]

That touches on what annoys me about her. [b]She writes about where she is in life as if either she is the first person to do this and/or there is no other way.[/b] Now that she is experiencing something new and very different for the first time, she gets how off she was before, and gosh! life can be different for different people depending on so many factors. She really came across as obtuse in her first book (kind of like an overexcited first time mom comes across to a grandmother of 12).[/quote]

This.

While I do appreciate what she's doing to stimulate more consciousness about issues related to women in the workplace and loss (issues close to my heart), and I think she's fairly criticized for being tone-deaf about women who aren't like her, it's the way she presents herself - as if she, personally, has discovered something that no one else knows - that really rubs me the wrong way. It takes a special kind of bold to explain grief about spousal loss to the world merely two years on, especially when there are books like The Year of Magical Thinking out there. [/quote]
