Too Bossy Book Club #2: Walking on Broken Glass
In our first session, we’re reading The Ambition Penalty (2026) and talking about something a lot of us know too well: being unapologetically ambitious at work, aiming high and saying out loud that you want more, can cost you.
Next, we’re picking up where that leaves off.
Walking on Broken Glass (2026) by Shannon Nutter and Julia Carreon asks what happens when your ambition pays off anyway. You get the recognition, the title, the seat at the leadership table, and then realize the hard part isn’t over.
Once you were in the room:
Did anyone actually listen?
Did you feel you had to prove you belonged?
Were you handed the project, team or role that was already on fire?
Did you watch a woman leader get slowly pushed out?
Did the DEI promises quietly disappear?
Bring your book, your stories, your frustrations, and the things that have actually helped you stay at the table.

ABOUT THE CLUB
The Too Bossy Book Club is Barcelona's first English-language book club for women in tech, reading women in tech.
It's a new, safe space to read about other women's experiences in the industry, talk honestly, and figure out how to navigate tech in 2026, so we stop leaving at such an alarming rate.
