Corporate Feminism and Lean In's Core Issues

Lean In, as a book, faces criticism for its potential alignment with corporate feminism, where feminist ideals are co-opted in service of consumerism and capitalism. It reflects a broader movement where women in leadership positions may not necessarily promote other women into similar roles, showcasing a hierarchy that can limit opportunities for women. The book introduces important concepts like the negotiation gap and challenges women face in the workplace, yet its pragmatic advice may cater primarily to wealthy, white-collar professionals.
