Suddenly, Sheryl Sandberg’s Critics Care About Working-Class Women

Gayle Tzemach Lemmon writes at The Atlantic: “I thought of this class mismatch recently as I’ve followed the discussion surrounding Sheryl Sandberg’s upcoming book, Lean In. Suddenly, and for the first time in a while, a bunch of major news outlets are talking about working-class women.
