Although her story is set in the peculiar world of Silicon Valley venture capital, Ellen Pao's experiences of a discriminatory and retaliatory workplace will sound all too familiar to millions of women and people of color. For that reason, listeners may want to fortify themselves by starting near the audiobook's end. There, with a soothing confidence, narrator Emily Woo Zeller presents Pao's advice and initiatives for making all workplaces more inclusive and respectful. Pao describes herself as both private and somewhat reticent. Zeller wisely mirrors that. Her thoughtful and emotionally measured narration captures Pao's struggles to gain recognition and equity for her work--struggles that eventually led Pao to file a well-publicized gender discrimination suit and to establish the nonprofit advocacy group Project Include.
