Many good pts, but barely any women and a single unneeded Trump reference

Sarah Seriously, I think the only woman he talks about is J.K. Rowling.

Myfanwy Johnston Seconded. He is not trying very hard to present examples of successful women at all.

Rhiannon Marshall This was my exact thought as I read this book. Where are all the women? And the, largely, male examples given of taking a leisurely Sunday stroll or working from 5-7am are completely unrealistic for a working mum.

Susan I, too, noticed the lack of women. So few that by chapter three I started taking notes.

Niall I hated the Trump mention. I do not associate him with wealth. More like idiot.

Adolfo Surely could have more women mentioned, but isn't Winifred Gallagher a woman?
