Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook's COO (Chief of Operations) has a new book entitled "Lean In - Women, Work and the Will to Lead." Sandberg is very influential in what goes on in the web industry today. Her book encourages women to take positions of leadership. She believes that a huge part of why women are afraid to take on demanding roles in the work force is because of issues we have internally.
In her intro she says "...women are hindered by barriers that exist within ourselves. We hold ourselves back in ways both big and small, by lacking self-confidence, by not raising our hands, and by pulling back when we should be leaning in."
I have only just starting my reading today but so far I can tell it is an interesting read, one that is uplifting and motivating. Join me as I read, you can purchase her Ebook here http://www.amazon.com/Lean-In-Women-Work-Will/dp/0385349947/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1368484220&sr=8-1&keywords=lean+in
