I enjoyed this book but many of the essays were from writers so it wasn't representative of many careers-- it was especially low on examples of women in STEM fields. Additionally, almost all of the essay-writers were connected to Smith College in some way and all were college educated. While the book had some valuable lessons, I felt a lot of these women were allowed to take big risks and learn from failures because they had significant safety nets.
