Back to Bossypants

17 May 2019: Re-reading Bossypants for my summer class and struck once again by how smart it is. Here's one passage that stood out to me today: "This is what I tell young women who ask me for career advice. People are going to try to trick you. To make you feel that you are in competition with one another. 'You're up for a promotion. If they go with a woman, it'll be between you and Barbara.' Don't be fooled. You're not in competition with other women. You're in competition with everyone."
