Bossypants: Lessons in Laughing Through It All
Tina Fey may not be a senior woman yet, but the lessons in her bestselling memoir Bossypants ring familiar to anyone who’s ever had to navigate the tricky, often unfair dynamics of being a woman in a man’s world. With her trademark wit, Fey shares stories of working her way up in comedy—a field historically dominated by men—while juggling motherhood, career, and the constant pressure to prove herself.
For senior women, her stories are both relatable and refreshing. Many of us know firsthand what it’s like to be underestimated, overlooked, or told to “smile more,” long before workplace equality was even part of the conversation. Fey turns those struggles into sharp, funny reflections that remind us how far women have come—and how much our resilience and humor have carried us through.
