参考答案【正确答案：A】
此题难度较大。需要考生对文章背景和Lean In一书有所了解。根据"The "mommy wars"of the 1990s are still going on today,prompting arguments about why women still can't have it all and books like Sheryl Sandberg's Lean In...."（20世纪90年代爆发的"妈妈间的论战"今天还在继续，论战引发了人们对妇女为什么不能工作与家庭两不误和诸如Sheryl Sandberg的《Lean In》等书的热议）因而，Lean In肯定是与女性有关的书籍且与工作有关。所以选择A项"为有工作的妈妈发声"。
C项"在妈妈间引起争论"并不是这本书引起的，而是" mommy wars"。B项"吸引激情的工作狂"和D项"赞扬有动力的员工"无法体现。
