My Hope In Writing 'lean In: Women,

I Spent Most Of My Career, Including My Time At Mckinsey, Never Acknowledging That I Was A Woman. And, You Know, Fast Forward - I'm 43 Now - Fitting In Is Not Helping Us.

Without Fear, Women Can Pursue Professional Success And Personal Fulfillment-and Freely Choose One, Or The Other, Or Both.

All Of Us Want The Same Things. We Want To Be Good To The People Around Us And For Our Lives To Have Meaning. For Me That Means Making The World A Little Bit Easier For Women.

Most People Assume That Women Are Responsible For Households And Child Care. Most Couples Operate That Way - Not All. That Fundamental Assumption Holds Women Back.

When You Want To Change Things, You Won't Please Everyone.
