Assessing Women's Corporate Progress
This chapter analyzes a report on women's representation in corporate leadership ten years after 'Lean In,' revealing a fragile increase to 29% that masks deeper systemic issues. It highlights the underrepresentation of women of color and the exacerbation of challenges due to the pandemic, calling into question the effectiveness of individual success strategies. The conversation critiques the notion of the 'girl boss' and the shift from personal achievement to the need for collective action against existing inequalities in the workplace.
