Description

Lean Out by Dawn Foster Dawn Foster challenges the dominant feminist narrative in business, arguing that the model of feminism promoted by Sheryl Sandberg's Lean In has failed to address the root causes of inequality. Foster examines the rise of a corporate '1% feminism' that has watered down the movement's potential for real change. She surveys the intersection of business, media, culture, and politics, questioning whether this approach offers any tangible benefits for women collectively or serves as a superficial PR tool for corporations responsible for the financial crisis. Foster makes a compelling case for a more radical approach, 'leaning out' of the corporate model, as a means of securing lasting change.
