👍 Worth It
Kay and Shipman back their case with real neuroscience and interviews with accomplished women across politics, sports, and business, so it lands as both rigorous and genuinely useful rather than just inspirational. Sandy Rustin's warm, conversational narration suits the dual-author voice well. One of the stronger, most substantive picks in this whole batch.
