I Would Be Better At My Job

When It Comes Time To Settle Down, Find Someone Who Wants An Equal Partner. Someone Who Thinks Women Should Be Smart, Opinionated, And Ambitious.

My Goal Is Very Clear, And I Wrote About It In Lean In, Which Is That Women Run Half Our Companies And Countries And Men Run Half Our Homes. As Much As I Wish That Could Happen In Four Years, I Don't Think That's A Likely Time Period. But I Think It Can Happen Sooner Than We Think. Part Of It Is Having That Aspiration And That Goal. I Think We Too Often Suffer From The Tyranny Of Low Expectations.

Without Fear, Women Can Pursue Professional Success And Personal Fulfillment-and Freely Choose One, Or The Other, Or Both.

I Realized That Searching For A Mentor Has Become The Professional Equivalent Of Waiting For Prince Charming. We All Grew Up On The Fairy Tale "seeping Beauty," Which Instructs Young Women That If They Just Wait For Their Prince To Arrive, They Will Be Kissed And Whisked Away On A White Horse To Live Happily Ever After. Now Young Women Are Told That If They Can Just Find The Right Mentor, They Will Be Pushed Up The Ladder And Whisked Away To The Corner Office To Live Happily Ever After. Once Again, We Are Teaching Women To Be Too Dependent On Others.

I Probably Shouldn't Admit This Since I Work In The Tech Industry, But I Still Prefer Reading Paper Books.
