The No. 1 impediment to women succeeding in the workforce is now in the home. – Sheryl Sandberg
I have a five year-old son and a three year-old daughter. I want my son to have a choice to contribute fully in the workforce or at home. And I want my daughter to have the choice to not just succeed, but to be liked for her accomplishments. – Sheryl Sandberg
And what I saw happening is that women dont make one decision to leave the workforce. They makes lots of little decisions really far in advance that kind of inevitably lead them there. – Sheryl Sandberg
If you ask men why they did a good job, theyll say, Im awesome. Obviously. Why are you even asking? If you ask women why they did a good job, what theyll say is someone helped them, they got lucky, they worked really hard. – Sheryl Sandberg
I am the woman I grew to be partly in spite of my mother, and partly because of the extraordinary love of her best friends, and my own best friends mothers, and from surrogates, many of whom were not women at all but gay men. I have loved them my entire life, even after their passing. – Anne Lamott
