Trying To Do It All And Expecting

My Hope In Writing 'lean In: Women, Work, And The Will To Lead' Was To Change The Conversation From What Women Can't Do To What We Can.

As A Man Gets More Successful, Powerful, He Is More Liked, And As A Woman Gets More Successful, She Is Less Liked, And That's True By Both Women And Men.

It's More Pressure On Women To - If They Marry Or Partner With Someone, To Partner With The Right Person. Because You Cannot Have A Full Career And A Full Life At Home With Your Children If You Are Also Doing All Of The Housework And Child Care.

Today, Despite All Of The Gains We Have Made, Neither Men Nor Women Have Real Choice. Until Women Have Supportive Employers And Colleagues As Well As Partners Who Share Family Responsibilities, They Don't Have Real Choice. And Until Men Are Fully Respected For Contributing Inside The Home, They Don't Have Real Choice Either.

Most People Assume That Women Are Responsible For Households And Child Care. Most Couples Operate That Way - Not All. That Fundamental Assumption Holds Women Back.
