Sheryl Sandberg

We don’t really encourage women to be leaders.

Women are given messages all through their lives that they shouldn’t lead.

At the same time, the world still isn’t very welcoming or respectful toward full-time at-home dads.

We call our daughters—but not our sons—bossy. We overestimate our sons’ crawling abilities and underestimate our daughters’.

Reigniting the revolution means I want us to notice all of this and find ways to encourage more women to step up and more companies to recognize what women bring to the table.

If we could get to a place of true equality, where what we do in life is determined not by gender but by our passions and interests, our companies would be more productive and our home lives not just better balanced but happier.

There aren’t enough women sitting at the tables where decisions are made.

Women face huge institutional barriers. But we also face barriers that exist within ourselves, sometimes as the result of our socialization.

I am not blaming women; I’m helping them see the power they’ve got and encouraging them to use it.
