MFOB featured book: Anna Bright Is Hiding Something
Hulu’s The Dropout, about Elizabeth Holmes, meets Netflix’s Inventing Anna in this cinematic and page-turning read. Anna Bright Is Hiding Something is a propulsive and ripped-from-the-headlines story that explores the fascinating world of female founders through the exploits of an earnest and bold journalist who exposes the fraud of an enigmatic founder on the eve of her company’s IPO. Set in the glossy worlds of Silicon Valley start-ups and New York City media, the novel is a love letter to hard-working businesswomen and a universal story about ambition, women in the workplace, and the true meaning of success.
