I wish I could just go tell all the young women I work with, all these fabulous women, Believe in yourself and negotiate for yourself. Own your own success. I wish I could tell that to my daughter. But its not that simple. – Sheryl Sandberg

The No. 1 impediment to women succeeding in the workforce is now in the home. – Sheryl Sandberg
