"lean in" seems to be one of best selling books. What does "lean in" mean?

You know, I googled it because I had never heard of the book. This is the Wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lean_In I also looked at leanin.org which says, "We want all women to have the confidence and know-how to achieve their goals. This starts with an active and supportive community. Each day we’ll encourage an open exchange of ideas and information. We will also share Lean In Stories—short narratives of moments in life when we choose to “lean in” or “lean back” intended to inspire, teach and connect us."

To tell you the truth, I don't know why that was selected as the title. It still doesn't make sense to me. Maybe someone else will have a "real" answer.
