Wonder Women: Sex, Power and the Quest for Perfection

Apr 30, 2014

“You know that girl who ‘has it all’—perfect job, relationship, body? No, you don’t, because she doesn’t exist, argues Barnard College president Debora Spar in her explosive new book Wonder Women: Sex, Power, and the Quest for Perfection. Her radical message to you: “Stop trying to be so good at everything.” Spar is joined by Anna Quindlen, former New York Times op ed columnist and bestselling author of A Short Guide to a Happy Life, to address the many issues covered in Spar’s new book, which has been acclaimed as “a wise, worthy companion to Sheryl Sandberg’s Lean In.”
