A very helpful, empowering book for women who feel as though they must put on a façade to succeed in their career. Down-to-earth snippets/examples are excellent to teach/help women in/inspiring to be in leadership.

It will take some sifting to get to the real nuggets in there, because the author talks a lot about her life and her own journey between grit and grace. While I get that we might need this for context, I really wanted her to point out what she was wanting to say at any given point, and also how this issue could affect the lives of other women who are not in the same shoes/field/industry as she is.
The book tells that women should be more 'this' but doesn't, for me, go enough in detail what 'this' actually stands for, what it looks like, how the women reading this can implement it.
It's a good book about women in the work force (especially corporate), but the message is slightly buried and you have to search deep to find it and then also how to apply it to your own life.

This book is primarily for professional working women who believe they can have it all. It isn't a book that all women will relate too and the author does not try to make it more universal. All the case studies and examples come from this niche demographic. It is sometimes a bit academic in tone, and is aimed at the US market. I found it readable but not a big page turner. However I do appreciate that this will be a great help to some women especially those in a professional role in medicine.
