Summary Do you ever feel crushed under the weight of your own expectations? Have you ever passed up an opportunity because you're afraid you won't immediately excel at it? Saujani shows that women are taught from an early age to play it safe, rewarded for being quiet and polite, steered to activities at which we could shine. We grow up afraid to fail, tamping down our dreams and our opportunities for happiness. Saujani shows us how to end our love affair with perfection and rewire ourselves for bravery. -- adapted from publisher info
