A must read for any working woman

Absolutely loved it and was able to learn, empathize and grow from it. My daughter will have this on her reading list.

Powerful personal narrative and solid research

Simply, eloquently, and sincerely written, this book is a delightful combination of inspiring personal narrative and solid research.
If you are a woman without children (like I am) or a man, keep listening past the first sentence: you'll be just fine!
Better than fine even. The powerful story of personal growth and evolution of thinking would be relatable for many. I feel like a more compassionate and empowered individual, having read the book!

The tools you need to have a successful career

Would you consider the audio edition of A Uterus Is a Feature, Not a Bug to be better than the print version?

I started reading this book after finishing Brotopia and feeling down about the future of women in tech. Although well researched, Brotopia does not highlight what successful women in tech look like. As a tech founder of a growing tech company myself, I knew that was only a partial story. So I was hungry to find more information.

Sarah Lacy's book was exactly what I needed. She opens up to tell you her story. How she got to where she is, not all roses as Lacy herself faced a bunch of sexism at multiple stages. But the book also talks about how she over come those challenges and embraced who she was to succeed. She also gives powerful examples of around the world were women are leading the way.

Lacy's book is empowering and eye opening. Would def recommend it.

Should be mandatory reading

“United we mom”

This should be mandatory reading for all women AND men, boys & girls.

Liked - worth reading to get perspective on global working women’s issues

I am not a mom - but much of the book has a heavy lens, tho Lacy is explicit about saying all women should have choice (as much as men) in all dimensions of their lives.

The personal story with Uber was a bit lengthy - but overall appreciate to 2 parts of the book (her personal encounters and feelings with being successful and being a mom) > and what other situations are for women (mothers or not) in other parts like Iceland and China.

Pretty quick read and I love the voice reading.

Impactful enough to share with 2 guy friends for insight into a women’s working world.
