[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel both ways about her.  On the one hand, I admire her because she's obviously a strong woman and has accomplished a lot in her lifetime.  On the other hand, it is annoying that she seems to be pushing HER way of doing things as the right way, and also for making it seem as if ANYONE can do what she did, if they follow her lead.  Whether she means to or not, she puts down women who choose to stay at home with their children, and women who are not able to balance it all.[/quote]

It's awful that her husband died. He sounded like a wonderful husband and father. Sad.

I also admire her but what I don't agree with her is that she takes the all or none approach. In her mind, you are either in the work full and lean in or push forward or you are not. There's lots of women who work part time or have put their next steps on hold while their care for young children or elderly parents, and that's ok. I work full time and wish I could afford to cut my hours and/or take a less demanding job for better work life balance. Also, a lot of women do not earn large salaries to be able to outsource all their household responsibilities. She does not address that issue at all. [/quote]
