DNF'ed at 18%. I felt like the findings in the introduction were pretty basic/obvious and then the chapters looking at country-specific companies just didn't seem to add anything to my understanding of global gender inequity in leadership

Took me some time to get through this but it was such a feel good book and I cannot wait to read it again.

The introduction was fascinating, but the narratives throughout the book didn't quite deliver. The narratives were not clearly connected to the thesis, and I question whether organization by geographic region was an efficient way to manage the material. Relating each chapter (and its stories) to a specific trait that was identified in the introduction would've been more powerful.

Sensational read with lots of fantastic stories about women (and men who think like them) changing the world for the better. What a cool window into parts of the world we rarely get to hear about in America.

I had a hard time believing the authenticity of this book after they called the infamous Pablo Escobar as Carlos. No fact checks?
I also felt that although I knew this would be more qualitative in scope, it was more of a collection of too good to be true stories.

Got half way through it and don't care for it enough to finish it. While many of the international projects or business models were interesting- I didn't agree with their premise that they were somehow inherently "feminine". Even the parts that were interesting, were anecdotal, and thus did not contain enough "meat" to really glean much from.

Disappointing. After the introduction, which laid out a somewhat questionable research strategy and outlined the thesis that the authors went on to attempt to prove, the book seemed to consist mostly of feel-good community action stories. Doubtless it took a lot of work to collect these from all over the globe, but it was less rigorous and analytical than I expected. Just didn't deliver as promised.

If you think women really are the weaker sex but that's what makes them so special, this is the book for you. If you like female empowerment, look elsewhere.
