Sandberg’s educational accolades and professional accomplishments (earning an A.B. and M.B.A. from Harvard, past Vice President of Global Online Sales at Google, and current COO of Facebook) provide her with a unique perspective on women in business, given that women only run 4.8% of Fortune 500 companies. [1]

Did you find Sandberg’s advice to be applicable for women of all socioeconomic classes, or only to women working in professional environments with educational backgrounds similar to her own? (Sandberg herself asserts in the beginning of the book that her suggestions may not be applicable for all individuals.) Do you find parts of Sandberg's advice useful even if your background is far different from hers?
