Navigating societal expectations as a woman

In her book Girl Logic, the author explores the constant navigating that women do to meet societal expectations. One of the most absurd expectations for women is the constant requirement to be humble. Women are expected to shine, but not too brightly or it might upset others. Additionally, there is a tendency for women to offer up trauma as a way to validate their success, which adds another layer of complexity to societal expectations. These expectations keep women preoccupied with what level of success is acceptable, making it a never-ending goalpost.
