NEW YORK (AP) — It’s been a year since Sheryl Sandberg came out with “Lean In,” her best-selling manifesto for working women, launching a new catchphrase in the process. Since then, over 1.75 million copies have been sold; the book’s out in 28 languages, and will be in eight more by the end of 2014 (a deal was just made for a Kurdish edition.)
And Sandberg’s professed goal of seeing 1,000 Lean In “circles” — small support groups — formed within a year has been exceeded, actually 16 times over. The Lean In foundation says 16,023 of them have formed, in 72 countries. As she often does on her travels, Sandberg, the chief operating officer of Facebook, met with one such group in China. “That was an emotional experience,” she said. “I told them this was my dream.”
