Is the Glass Ceiling Also a Mirror? Women are the backbones of their workplaces, their homes, and their communities, but we women often feel drained, ignored, and ineffective, despite our critical roles and hard work. Society--incessant media messaging and the false narratives with which we're raised--plays a big role in how we perceive ourselves. But could we also be holding ourselves back? In this manifesto of hope, Kimberly Faith--author, speaker, executive coach, and self-described graduate of the school of hard knocks--traces women's activism and movements for change from 1920, when American women gained the right to vote. Simultaneously, Kim breaks down the limiting mental models that are still standing in the way--often unconsciously--and brings them to life with the Sisterhood, seven stories of women who overcame obstacles in their professional and personal lives. Get ready to be inspired by these stories--as well as how Kim rewrote her own life story--and break through the glass ceiling in your world. It starts with Your Lion Inside. Right here. Right now.
