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.

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.
